...furnish the basis of the electro -magnetic system of measurement. Thus, if we start with the centimetre as the unit of length, the gramme as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit of time, we obtain, as shown in arts. 14, 15, and 45, a unit of force called the dyne, and a unit of energy called... | |
