I'm reading an early paper of Maxwell's in which he defines c in a peculiar way that I hadn't heard before:
Could someone help me get a sense of what he means by this? I'm familiar with the definition of c = 1 / sqrt epsilon-naught x mu-naught, but not sure how to translate that into the statement above, which seems more concise.
"the number of electrostatic units in one electromagnetic unit of electricity"
