Okay everyone, we all know that knowing your units is key on the MCAT. Let's start a list of useful units and their contexts.
Ex:
Watts=J/s=Power
Ex:
Watts=J/s=Power

N= (kg*m)/sec^2
J= N*m
V= (N*m)/C
E-field= N/C
Capacitance= C/V
That's really all you need since everything else can derived from equations or vice versa.
I.e. V=E*d
Or, for your example
Power = Energy/time= J/s= (N*m)/s
J= N*m
V= (N*m)/C
E-field= N/C
Capacitance= C/V

Honestly, I never really had to learn any of these. I think that by working with these long enough it sort of just becomes second nature.

1 second = 1 ohm farad
I use that once or twice a year to wow my audience.

Oh, and intensity is kg/s^3.
As in, if you have a situation where you suddenly have 1 kg of material after 1 second, then a second later you have 8 kg, and a second after that you have 27 kg, etc. you have an intensity of 1.
