        Doug - 
        We are supposed to capitalize people's names. 
        So, Coulomb, Hertz, Volta, Ampere, Oersted, Ohm, Faraday, Henry,
etc. are all capitalized.

Hi all,

I need some help in settling a misunderstanding among some people.  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?
