Volume III - Semiconductors
Chapter 1.5 Decibels
While the bel is a unit naturally scaled for power, another logarithmic unit has been invented to directly express voltage or current gains/losses, and it is based on the natural logarithm rather than the common logarithm as bels and decibels are. Called the neper, its unit symbol is a lower-case n.
Is "n" really used anywhere nowadays?
Suggested correction:
1) its unit symbol is "n" or more commonly Np.
2) its unit symbol is Np
Np is a standard unit symbol (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neper)
