public class Constants

extends java.lang.Object

Electromagnetic constants and field and field motion constants. The class defines the integers for various field types and field motion types. This class also defines the free-space permittivity and permeability somewhat arbitrarily so that the speed of light is 1000 units/second. It may be a good idea to rescale these to SI units at some point.
