Package: qalc
Version: 3.20.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to perform an unit conversion using qalc.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I did the following calculation in qalc
3m/(A*T) -> Pa
* What was the outcome of this action?
(3 × meter) / (ampere × tesla) ≈ 0,3333333333 Pa
* What outcome did you expect instead?
A warning that this conversion is not possible or alternatively a
correct result including this unit, e.g.:
(3 × meter) / (ampere × tesla) = 3 Pa^−1
For clarification: The result of the conversion is wrong because
the following physical equation (written in LaTeX) is true:
\[\mathrm{1 \frac{m}{A \cdot T} = 1 \frac{m \cdot A s^2}{A \cdot kg} =
1 \frac{m \cdot s^2}{kg} = 1 \frac{1}{Pa}}\]
Thanks for maintaining qalc!
Marcel
