16. 16 Logic A (current logic) –The ratio of two quantities of the same kind is a new quantity.

17. 17 Logic B Division of one quantity by other of the same kind merely express the number of times one quantity fits into the other. This number may be just called a coefficient, a factor or a ratio, but not a new quantity. No need to assign SI units to numbers!

18. 18 Logic A or Logic B? It is a matter of choice

19. 19 PROBLEMS associated with Logic A CONFUSION between levels, reference levels and the underlying quantities and SI units CONFUSION through special names CONFUSION through the use of the special name decibel with different power and field quantities such as dB(mW), dB(W), dB(0.775V), dB(V), dB(mA), dB(  V/m), dB(W/m 2 ), dB(W/4kHz), dB(W/K), dB(W/m 2 kHz), dB(kHz), dB(Pa), dB(Pa/V), dB(mV/Pa) and dB(K -1 )

20. 20 The best recommendation should be to use more the accepted SI units underlying such ratios or levels as bel or neper
