(a) As a unit of resistance, the ohm, which is based upon ohm equal to 10^ units of resistance of the centimetre-gramme-second system of electro-magnetic units, and is re-presented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electriccurrent by a column of mercury, at the temperature ofmelting ice 14*4521 grammes in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area and of the length of 106-3 centimetres; (b) As a unit of current, the ampere, which is one-tenth Ampere,of the unit of current of the centimetre-gramme-secondsystem of electro-magnetic units, and is represented suffi-ciently well for practical use by the unvarying
