    Study Notes

    Fundamental Physical Quantities

    • Fundamental physical quantities are basic measurements that do not rely on other quantities. Examples include length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.

    Derived Physical Quantities

    • Derived physical quantities are those that are defined in terms of the fundamental quantities, such as speed (derived from distance and time) and force (derived from mass and acceleration).

    Base Units

    • The base unit for temperature is the Kelvin (K).
    • The base unit for luminous intensity is the Candela (cd).
    • The base unit for amount of substance is the Mole (mol).
    • The base unit for electric current is the Ampere (A).

    Notable Information

    • Not all physical quantities are fundamental; some are derived from combinations of the fundamental ones, illustrating the structure of physical measurements.
