... units indeed . Suppose we choose a unit smaller than the gram , say the microgram . This is equal to a millionth of a gram , i.e. , 10-6 gram . We can then say that 1 kilowatt - hour of energy is produced by the conversion of 0.04 ...

... units are therefore " reciprocal seconds " or " 1 / second . " We must treat the units of h as we treat h itself . We get h by dividing e by v ; so we must get the units of h by dividing the units of e by the units of v . When we divide ...
