Primitive units for electromagnetism

Guest
Learn the new units of measure like:
volt = meter^2 per second^2
joule = meter^4 per second^2
ohm = 1 per second
coulomb = meter^2
ampere = meter^2 per second
capacitance = square seconds
inductance = 1
H magnetic field intensity = meters per second
permittivity = 1 per meter

from my book...
"The Strength of Gravity vs. Charge"
by Alan Folmsbee, MSEE
170 pages, 11 axioms, 13 figures.

It is for sale for $60 at :
http://fcgravity.blogspot.com/

It was published on March 14, 2015 in Hawaii and is now available worldwide as a .pdf file or as a book. View the revolution in physics.

I see problems here. The 'natural' unit for capacitance is meters (if you scale
a capacitor design to larger dimension, the capacitance scales with it). There's
validity to folding in constants like the speed of light, but that only gets you
to 'seconds', not square seconds.

Centimetres, actually, if you're a right-thinking Gaussian units guy
like myself. ;) (I was taught E&M out of Jackson, which remains my
favourite fields book of all time.)

As in W.D. Jackson?

While a student at MIT I worked as a technician in the
Woodson/Jackson/Melcher/etc MHD laboratory in Building 20.

Jackson was my thesis (*) advisor on my blood flow-rate circuit design
thesis, really out of his area of expertise, but he knew Dr. Richard
Gorlin at Harvard Med School (Peter Bent Brigham Hospital) who had an
instrumentation problem...

I think he means "Classical Electrodynamics" by John Davod Jackson.

And if you're going to reduce everything down to "natural" units, current
physical thinking is that everything should be in Planck units, not
meters, seconds, etc.

I think I'll stick with SI units for now, though.

The self-capacitance of a 1-cm radius sphere in free space is, no
surprises, 1 cm, which conveniently is about 1.12 pF. Plus there are no
pesky epsilon_0 and mu_0 to worry about. (I'll sweep things like
statvolts under the rug, of course.)

A side note: Peter Bent Brigham is now called Brigham and Women's
Hospital, where many of the victims from the Boston Marathon bombing
were taken:

No, John David Jackson, "Classical Electrodynamics, 2nd Ed.", Wiley,
late 1970s. He got his degree at MIT back in the '40s.

Yep. I kept in touch with Dr. Gorlin well into the early '70's...
they were still using my box... of Germanium transistors ;-)
