This was a question I had in another post, but the main topic was on a similar but different issue...
If I had the dimensions joules per metre squared per second (e.g. like for a solar panel), how would I write that?
I've been told
\frac{Js}{m^2}
But I get \frac{J}{m^2s}
Why is it this:
\frac{J}{1} \times \frac{s}{m^2}
And not:
\frac{J}{m^2} \times \frac{1}{s}
I'm grouping joules over metre squared together whereas everyone I've talked to does the first one - why? And am I wrong for saying 'per metre per second'? Should time come first? What is the convention here?
Thank you
