Talk:Joule-second

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "joule second" is described differently when it describes power than when it describes angular momentum. It does need sorting out. I'm not sure I am the one to do it. Also, since its applications are electrical, optical, and mechanical, the measurements are understood differently depending upon the application, but the measurement is still equivalent. --Voyajer 01:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

This page is certainly mixed up. It starts off correctly discussing the joule second but it calls it first the "unit of power over time" when in reality it is the unit of energy multiplied by time.(It was correct when it mentioned to look elsewhere for the "joule/second" "see watt" which is a unit of power). It then rightfully calls it a unit of "action or a unit of angular momentum." Unfortunately it then gets mixed up again by discribing the term joule/second the unit of power. Will someone please fix it up. --A.Z.
