== Gaussian units ==
The article states that in Gaussian units μ<sub>0</sub> and ε<sub>0</sub> do not enter the theory. I find this statement a bit lacking, because it doesn't say what "theory" we are talking about. I'd guess that it would be preferable to say that μ<sub>0</sub> and ε<sub>0</sub> play no role when Gaussian units are employed. I've changed the text to read this way. [[User:John R. Brews|John R.

Gaussian units

The article states that in Gaussian units μ0 and ε0 do not enter the theory. I find this statement a bit lacking, because it doesn't say what "theory" we are talking about. I'd guess that it would be preferable to say that μ0 and ε0 play no role when Gaussian units are employed. I've changed the text to read this way. John R. Brews 13:23, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
