SCHEDULE B. 
RESOLUTIONS. 
I. The Conference agrees that, as heretofore, the magnitudes of the 
fundamental electric units shall be determined on the electro-magnetic 
system of measurement with reference to the centimetre as the unit 
of length, the gramme as the unit of mass, and the second as the unit 
of time. 
These fundamental units are (1) the ohm, the unit of electric resist- 
ance which has the value of 1,000,000,000 in terms of the centimetre 
and second; (2) the ampere, the unit of electric current which has the 
value of one-tenth (0°1) in terms of the centimetre, gramme, and the 
second; (3) the volt, the unit of electromotive force which has the 
value 100,000,000 in terms of the centimetre, the gramme, and the
