It=20 involves when to capitalize and not capitalize Volt, Amp, and Watt, etc. In the following uses, is it proper to capitalize the letters as=20 shown: The voltage is one Volt, which we can also write as 1 V. The=20 current is 10 Amps, but other places it is only 5 mA. The definition of = one=20 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?
