His work on the ratio between the electrodynamic and electrostatic units of charge in 1855 proved extremely important and was crucial to Maxwell in his electromagnetic theory of light. Weber found the ratio was 3.1074 108m/sec but failed to take any notice of the fact that this was close to the speed of light.
Kanyang trabaho sa ang ratio sa pagitan ng mga electrodynamic at electrostatic yunit ng mga singil sa proved balisang-1855 importante at ay mahalaga sa Maxwell sa kanyang electromagnetic theory ng mga ilaw. Weber natagpuan ang ratio ay 3.1074 10 8 m / sec ngunit nabigo na kunin ang anumang abiso ng mga katunayan na ito ay malapit sa bilis ng ilaw.
