Abstract
THE absolute system of electromagnetic units was developed by the British Association Committee on “Practical Standards for Electrical Measurements”. Of this Committee Sir Wm. Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and Clerk Maxwell were the leading members and the development of the system is mainly due to them. It may be of interest to have here a brief account of what is meant by an ‘absolute system’.
