Verify that the von Klitzing constant, h/e2h / e^2, gives the SI unit for resistance (the ohm) if hh and ee are in units of joule-seconds and coulombs, respectively.

The von Klitzing constant is given by the following equation

RK=he2,\begin{align} R_K=\frac{h}{e^2}, \end{align}

in which hh is given in joule-seconds, Js\mathrm{Js}, and ee is given in coulombs, C\mathrm{C}.

We have to show that RKR_K gives the SI unit for resistance (the ohm). To do that we will be looking at the definitions of C\mathrm{C} and J\mathrm{J}.
