recordGaussian

Base constants and units for Gaussian units (kA = ke = 1)

Extends from Base (Base constants and units).

Information

Gaussian systems of units impose:

  • kA = 1 ⇒ RK/c = 2π/α
  • ke = 1 ⇒ RK*c = 2π/α

Together, c = 1 and RK = 2π/α

The Gaussian conditions are not sufficient to fully establish the values of the base constants and units of the Units package. Gaussian units encompass other systems of units.

For more information, please see the documentation for the Units package.
