Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the complexities and history of the electrical units the ampere, volt and ohm. These play an important role in science and technology, and are significant enough to have been discussed at the International Electrical Congress. The book emphasizes how the three units have been fundamentally defined in terms of concrete and absolute standards, with insight into the distinctions between these standards. The text traces the practical and theoretical challenges that have come up in the process, including difficulties in reconciling absolute and international units, and methods of increasing accuracy via absolute measurements. Ultimately, the book analyzes which of these units provide the most benefit in terms of accuracy, concreteness and ease of reproduction.
