Tag: Heaviside-Lorentz Units

Introduction Heaviside-Lorentz units (named for O. Heaviside and H.A. Lorentz) constitute a particular extension of CGS units which are most often useful in theoretical electrodynamics. As a practical system of units, Heaviside-Lorentz falls short due to most measureable quantities being excessively small or big for intuition. Neverless, Heaviside-Lorentz showcases the simplicity and beauty of the…
