Error in formula

Main formula of the article is wrong, dimensional analysis indicates [V/m][C][m/s]=[J/s]=[W] which is not [A] for current — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phadd (talk • contribs) 23:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Think of the "electric field" used here as deriving from the weighting field, which is unitless, yet varies in space. The gradient is non-zero due to it's variance in space, but it's unitless nature now dictates that the "electric field" here as units of inverse meters. I plan on adding integral form, but literature is still not to common outside of research papers (of which there are many) Footlessmouse (talk) 11:40, 23 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
