Abstract

According to many scientists; there are some redundancies in the SI system of units that is found in the non-correspondence between units of analogous parameters in the electric, magnetic and thermal fields. The main source of such conflicts is the missing clear definitions of electric charge and magnetic flux in the literature that led also to errors in in-laws of electromagnetism. In the present study; we show such redundancies and conflicts. Then, we introduce innovative definitions of the electric charge and magnetic flux as electromagnetic waves of electrical or magnetic potentials which proved its success in robust definitions in electromagnetism to remove such redundancies. Such an approach keeps the correspondence between the units of analogous parameters in the electric, magnetic and thermal fields. In this system; the Volt is used as a unique scale for measurement the potentials of the thermal, electric, and magnetic fields, and entropy of each field is used as an indicator of the flowing energies in Joule/Volt.
