'''"Replacing Coulombs with Meters"''' is an article by [[Jeff Yee]] published on 23 March 2019 on ''Beyond Mainstream''.

Yee argues that naming units after Coulomb, Newton, Ampere and Tesla, while a fitting honour, has helped keep the electrical and mechanical domains of physics apart: a student meeting a named unit is less likely to ask what it actually measures. Most such units reduce to simpler SI terms &mdash; the ampere to coulombs per second &mdash; and he contends that one unit in particular, once simplified, bridges the gap between the two domains.
