Systems of Units
• In this course, we use SI, or Standard International Units
“length” in meters
“mass” in kilograms
MKS (part of SI)
“time” in seconds
Electrical quantities are also expressed in SI units
• Voltage in volts
• Capacitance in farads
• Current in amperes
• Inductance in henries
• Resistance in ohms
These units are all named after famous 19th century scientists
