       #Physics #ITeachPhysics A reminder about symbols for, and the names of, SI Units:If named after a person then the full name of the unit starts with a lower case letter BUT the symbol is a capital e.g.     coulomb, symbol C          newton, symbol NThis distinguishes between the unit's name and the person's name e.g. "coulomb" is the unit, but "Coulomb" is "Charles-Augustin de Coulomb".See BIPM's website (the org which defines SI units) for more info:https://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units
