[IEEE 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Paris (2018.7.8-2018.7.13)] 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Conceptual Consequences of the SI

摘要： The SI and its forerunners were largely developed in response to the confusion of multiple electromagnetic unit systems at the start of the 20th century. More than 100 years later, the success of the SI is evidenced by its almost universal acceptance. The adoption of the ampere as the fourth base unit has proved to be a beneficial way of simplifying electromagnetic units. However, an unintended consequence of adopting this system has been the development of several misconceptions regarding the physics of electromagnetic quantities. The anticipated educational activities associated with the upcoming SI redefinition offer an ideal opportunity to resolve this concern.
