The equations of electromagnetism, whether written in the electrostatic, electromagnetic, or symmetric system, whether in rationalized or nonrationalized form, express an invariant set of physical relationships. The same set of letter symbols is employed in each, system of equations; these symbols represent related, but different, quantities in the various systems. The relationships among corresponding symbols are given and applied to precise statements about the relation between the oersted and the ampere per meter, the abampere and the ampere, etc.
