This appendix presents the characteristics of the dimensional attributes of the electron along with suggestions for naming the SE units of measure.
Throughout this book, we use an attribute symbol to represent both the attribute of an elementary particle and its unit of measure. We do this for two reasons. First, names for units of measure, which represent quantum attributes of elementary particles, do not, as yet, exist. Second, the value of each unit of measure is equal to the magnitude of its comparable quantum attribute of the relevant particle.
For example, in the SI of unit measures, the mass of the electron is expressed as:
me = 9.1 × 10-34 kg (230
where:
me is the symbol for the electronic attribute of mass, and
kg is the symbol for the SI unit of mass, kilogram.
However, this book expresses the mass of the electron in the SE of unit measures as:
me = 1 me (231
where the first me is the symbol for the electronic attribute of mass, and the second me is the symbol for the SE unit of mass.
This notational convention can lead to confusion; therefore, we need to specify names for the SE-based units of measure. We can obtain these names by using the same convention that was used to obtain the SI-based names.
The convention that the physics community used for naming the SI-based, derived units of measure was to name them after the family names of the physicists that most contributed to the knowledge of the phenomena that the units measured. Prime examples are: Joule for energy, Newton for force, Kelvin for temperature, and Coulomb for charge. Other physicists whose last names became models for the names of SI units of measure are: Hertz, Watt, Ampère, Faraday, Volta, Weber, Henry, Tesla, Ohm, and Pascal.
Therefore, we continue the historic convention for suggesting names of the SE units of measure, which are based upon the quantum attributes of the electron or factorial combinations of them.
The following table lists a selection of the dimensional attributes of the electron including suggestions for naming the SE-based units of measure:
