Hi all,

I need some help in settling a misunderstanding among some people.  It 
involves when to capitalize and not capitalize Volt, Amp, and Watt, etc.

In the following uses, is it proper to capitalize the letters as 
shown:  The voltage is one Volt, which we can also write as 1 V. The 
current is 10 Amps, but other places it is only 5 mA. The definition of one 
Amp is the flow of..........  The power generated is 5 Watts. But I only 
have a 2-Watt power supply.

When do we capitalize and when don't we?

Doug Brooks
