Oomph is as a good as any other term

Practical electricity is about energy, charge and time.

Volts, amps, ohms are just derivations from energy, charge and time.

Until someone actually meets a volt, shakes a hand with an amp or goes out
to dine with the parents of an ohm I'll maintain my heritical views.

Oomph is now the unit of doing something, I patent it and claim copyright.
Volts and Amps are just illegitamate children. Ohms are the result of incest
on a dark night, useful and I'll keep them working out of sight in the
skullery.

Please do not confuse terminolgy and education with reality.

Only 9 angels dance on the top of the pinhead, if I could detirmine the
speed of the angel maybe I could find out what direction the pinhead is
travelling in.

Great anology....i think 'oooph' should become a new lab
standard.
I think CN had one good point...engineers regard batteries as
a two-terminal device with a certain transfer function...chemists
working in the battery industry would see them totally differently.
