    Why is Electrical Potential Energy Dimensionally Inconsistent?

    In the case of two charges separarted at a distance r, the electrical potential energy follows that V=(q1q2)/(4*pi*epslion*r), I want to ask why the dimenision of this equation is not consistent and this equation still has a physical meaning. From a textbook about electricity and magnetism, the...

    Understanding the Boltzmann Distribution - Integrating N(E) from 0 to Infinity

    For N(E)=Aexp(-E/kT), I know that N(E) is the no. of particles with a certain energy E, but why does integrating N(E) from 0 to infinity equal to 1? Although I realize that it means that there is 100% probability to find a particle in this range, I want to know why summing up all no. of...
