| vi+;;Quote: describe electrical phenomena in terms of measurements, methods of measurement, and standards
| 1 ;;Quote: every quantitative expression consists of a unit or standard of reference and a magnitude
| 2:240 ;;Quote: the electromotive intensity depends on the velocity of a particle transverse to the magnetic field, the time-variation of the magnetic field, and the time-variation of the electric field
| 2:240+;;Quote: Maxwell developed his theory in cartesian coordinates and promoted the use of quaternion or vector equations
