    METHODS

    CHAPTER 1

    UNITS AND NOTATION

    1.1 SYSTEMS OF UNITS

    1.1.1 THE SI SYSTEM

    The International System of Units is based on six basic units: 1) meter, 2) kilogram, 3) second, 4) ampere, 5) degree kelvin, and 6) candela.

    1.1.2 STANDARD ABBREVIATIONS FOR SI

    1.1.3 THE MKS AND CGS SYSTEM (METRIC SYSTEM)

    1.1.4 THE ENGLISH SYSTEM

    Length → yard (yd)

    Mass → slug

    Time → second

    Force → Pound (lb)

    Energy → foot-pound (ft-lb)

    1.1.5 UNITS CONVERSION BETWEEN ENGLISH MKS AND CGS SYSTEMS

    1.2 LAWS OF UNITS

    In each term of an equation, the units of measurement must be the same.

    Only one system of units is used with any one equation; both sides of the equality must be of the same system.

    1.3 UNIT OF CHARGE AND COULOMB’S LAW

    Charge:

    Symbol →

    Q - constant charge

    q - time-varying or instantaneous value of charge, i.e., g(t).

    Unit → Coulomb (C).

    (Note: the charge of an electron = - 1.60219 × 10-19 C, where 1 C (negative) = combined charge of about 6.24 × 10¹⁸ electrons. The charge of one proton = +1.602 × 10-19C.)

    Coulomb’s Law:

    where k = 9 × 10⁹ N-m² /C² = proportionality constant

    = (4πε0)-1

    Q1 + Q2 = charge of 2 bodies in coulomb

    d = separated distance between 2 charged bodies

    and ε0 = permittivity of free space = 8.85 × 10-12
