Hi everyone,

me (a Mathematica beginner) was trying to let Mathematica do the work. I 
have a very simple equation which I want Mathematica to solve and compute 
units.

Resistor = 1 Mega Ohm;
Voltage = 1 Milli Volt;
Current = Voltage / Resistor

Mathematica displays the solution of current in [Milli Volt] / [Mega Ohm]. 
That's not what I would like to see. I would like to resolve the units as 
follows:

[Milli Volt] / [Mega Ohm] = [Milli Volt]/ [Mega [Volt / Ampere]] = [Nano 
Ampere]

I tried the Convert[] function to achieve the desired output, but in vain. 
Does anybody know how to tell Mathematica to display Ampere?

Thanks for your time and help.

Best regards,

Alex
