[Newbie] Ohm, Ampere, Volt units

Hi everyone,

me (a Mathematica beginner) was trying to let Mathematica do the work. I
have a very simple equation which I want Mathematica to solve and compute
units.

Resistor = 1 Mega Ohm;
Voltage = 1 Milli Volt;
Current = Voltage / Resistor

Mathematica displays the solution of current in [Milli Volt] / [Mega Ohm].
That's not what I would like to see. I would like to resolve the units as
follows:

[Milli Volt] / [Mega Ohm] = [Milli Volt]/ [Mega [Volt / Ampere]] = [Nano
Ampere]

I tried the Convert[] function to achieve the desired output, but in vain.
Does anybody know how to tell Mathematica to display Ampere?

Thanks for your time and help.

Best regards,

Alex

The issue has been resolved. Now I use V4ExtendUnits which is available at
http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/Mathematica.html.

Resistor = 1 Mega Ohm;
Voltage = 1 Milli Volt;
Current = Voltage / Resistor // ToUnit[Ampere, UnitForm -> (PrefixForm[#1,
3] &)]

gives

1.00 Nano Ampere

Best regards,

Alex
