Hello. The solution is to write you dimensions as they truly exist and bypass "variable" naming like "Newton". Use (Ampere Second Kelvin)/(Kilogram Meter) and make a list of all of the dimensions. i.e. Permittivity (A^2 s^4 K^0)/(Kg m^3) Sure there is some work involved but in the long run one will learn the nature of the dimensions and supercede archaic variable dimension units.
