Mike, I think what you want is the Statvolt. Needs["Miscellaneous`Units`"] Convert[Statvolt, Volt] 299.793 Volt David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Mike [mailto:imike at newmail.ru] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net It looks like the authors of the Mathematica know only a few things about different systems of physical values. They think that In[1]:= << Miscellaneous`Units` CGS[Volt] gives Out[2]= Volt But in CGS system 1 volt is equal to 1/300 of CGS unit of electric field strength! And the difference between the SI and CGS systems is not only meter and centimeter for length... What do you think about?
