Rv. Electromagnetic equations generally depend on the choice of units. MKS equations have different constants in them. If you're *sure* that isn't the case here, then say so and revert me. |
→Mathematical description of elliptical polarization: Srleffler is right, unit system matters. Small fix: Gaussian units is more specific than cgs units. |
