Your equation is in obselete cgs units, Frank.
The International MetricSystem (SI) is the modern language of science,
and I find it more intuitive.
See the following link I gave you, Figure 4, left panel bottom
calculation.
The fine structure constant can be derived from a number of different
math equations but all are traceable to the geometry, as demonstrated
by the derivation shown.
Alpha=3D (Flux x 2 x e)/ h
