On a natural definition of the kilogram and the ampere

چکیده
We consider a recent proposal [1] to redefine the kilogram in terms of natural constants. In our opinion, the main objective of the redefinition should be to build such a version of the SI system in which the electric measurements are possible with the highest accuracy in SI units, and not in practical units as now. We emphasize that this objective can be achieved only with a simultaneous redefinition of the kilogram and ampere. This redefinition must be in terms of fixed values of the Planck constant h and the elementary charge e. Certain details of the possible redefinition are considered. This paper considers the recent proposal [1] to redefine the SI kilogram and possibly the ampere in terms of fixed values of fundamental physical constants. This would change the International System of units (the SI) [2], which is a commonly accepted coherent system for all branches of macroscopic measurements in education, sciences and technology. The redefinition [1], which has been suggested in terms of fundamental constants, also indirectly involves certain natural quantum phenomena, which should appear due to realizations of the redefinition. Some time ago the SI was changed in a similar matter by fixing a value of the speed of light c [3]. However, the present situation is very different. To our opinion the major problem now is that the present high-accuracy

Redefinition of the kilogram, ampere, kelvin and mole: a proposed approach to implementing CIPM recommendation 1 (CI-2005)
The International System of Units (SI) is founded on seven base units, the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela corresponding to the seven base quantities of length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance and luminous intensity. At its 94th meeting in October 2005, the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) adopted a re...

This study aimed to develop new statistical models for evaluating the specific ampere draw (SI) based on rock brittleness index in rock sawing process. A variety of rocks, including carbonate and granite, were cut by a fully instrumented laboratory-sawing rig with two different types of circular diamond saws. Laboratory tests were performed at different depths of cut and feed rates. Multiple cu...

Nitrogen fertilizer management has a special priority for safflower economic production. Increasing the efficiency of this element, in addition to increasing economic benefits, also reduces environmental pollution. Therefore, a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of statistical design of complete randomized blocks with three replications at Safiabad Agricultural and Natural Resources...
متن کاملThe watt balance: determination of the Planck constant and redefinition of the kilogram
Since 1889, the international prototype of the kilogram has served as the definition of the unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is the last material artefact to define a base unit of the SI, and it influences several other base units. This situation is no longer acceptable in a time of ever-increasing measurement precision. It is therefore planned to redefine the unit of ...
