I realized this a few days ago. The units for a magnetic field, kilograms per coulomb-second, have a name, the Tesla. That is 1 T = 1 kg/(C*s). But the electric field units, volts per meter or newtons per coulomb, have no name. Even our most basic derived quantities, velocity and acceleration, have no named units. Ditto for momentum, impulse, and undoubtedly a number of other physical quantities.
So what’s the deal? Should we give them names or not? Almost every unit I know of is named after a famous physicist, so who should we name these new units after?
And by the way, why don’t we make up a new unit of charge that makes more sense? In fact, what if we just define the New Charge Unit as the charge on one electron. Then we would just use the megaNCU or gigaNCU or something for all practical purposes, just like we use the kilogram instead of the gram, and build all our other units around that.
