One definition of an Amp is "The amount of current in that
will give a force of 2x10-7N/metre of wire length with 2
parallel wires that are 1m apart".
So, where is the Imperial version of that? Life is just too
easy for those electrical types of people.
That's a gap in the market if ever I
saw one. Simply
substitute ft-lb, 1 ft gap, BTU and so on into the definitions
and get Imps (Imperial amps), Voults, Columbias and so
on.
Much better.

As far as I'm concerned, based on the stupidity
quotient, electricity is already in imperial units since
it's all backwards to start with. |
