unit conversion proof?
« on: November 11, 2008, 07:00:36 AM »
Hi, im trying to prove pC/N (coloumb per newton) is equivilant to pM/V (meter per volt) but im stuck

C (coloumb) = F.V (farad by volt)

F (farad) = S4. A2. M-2. Kg-1 

So using F

C= V. S4. A2. M-2. Kg-1


Overall: C/N

N (newton) = Kg. M. S-2

therefore

C/N = V. S4. A2. M-2. Kg-1 / Kg. M. S-2

V. S6. A2 / M3. Kg 2

at this point i cant see how to procced.

What have idone wrong or what realtionship do i need to complete the proof?

Explaining your symbols won't hurt. I have no idea what you mean.

Hi sorry a little presumptive of me, the units are
farads        f
coloumbs    c
Kilograms    kg
meters       m
amperes     a
seconds     s

I really meant to put this in the physical forum i was just browsing the materials section, oh well. Ill leave this here though to avoid a cross post.

In fact heres the whole thing again:

Hi, im trying to prove pC/N (coloumb per newton) is equivilant to pM/V (meter per volt) but im stuck

C (coloumb) = F x V (farad by volt)

farads        f
coloumbs    c
Kilograms    kg
meters       m
amperes     a
seconds     s
volt           v

F (farad) = S4x A2x M-2x Kg-1

So using F

C= V x S4x A2x M-2x Kg-1


Overall: C/N

N (newton) = Kg x M x S-2

therefore

C/N = V x S4 x A2 x M-2 x Kg-1 / Kg. M x S-2

V x S6 x A2 / M3 x Kg 2

at this point i cant see how to procced.

What have i done wrong or what realtionship do i need to complete the proof?

hi everydaygame, what is SI base units of Volt? It will be clearer to you once you have express it and so far so good

F (farad) = S4x A2x M-2x Kg-1

Note:
second is s, not S
meter is m, not M
kilogram is kg, not Kg

That's one of the reasons I had no idea what you were writing about.

thanks for the replies

ahh sorry borek i am aware of the convention i was just being sloppy

I think i may have solved the conversion if some one would check they agree:

Using V = m 2 x kg / s 3 x A

put into

C/N = V x s4 x A2 x m-2 x kg-1 / kg. m x s-2
C/N = A x s 3 / kg x m

as V = m 2 x kg / s 3 x A
    1/ V = A x s 3 / kg x m 2

time both sides by m

    m/v = A x s 3 / kg x m

That's one possible way and remember to make a concluding statement.

Thanks just wanted to check it worksnot usre I know what you mean by a concluding statement though

Conluding statement is something like mathematical induction.

Since C/N = A x s 3 / kg x m  and  m/v = A x s 3 / kg x m as such units of C/N is equalvalent to units of m/V.  (Proved)

1 Colomb =  1 Joule per volt

1 Joule = 1 Newton metre

C/N = (J/V)/N = ((N.m)/V)/N = m/V
