Base constants and units for Lorentz-Heaviside units (μ0 = ε0 = 1)

Extends from Base (Base constants and units).

Information

Lorentz-Heaviside systems of units impose:

  • μ0 = 1 ⇒ RK/c = 1/(2α)
  • ε0 = 1 ⇒ RK c = 1/(2α)

Together, c = 1 and RK = 1/(2α)

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

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