SI Units in Physics

What is the SI Unit?

SI (Système International) unit is an international system of measurements that are used universally in technical and scientific research to avoid the confusion with the units. Having a standard unit system is important because it helps the entire world to understand the measurements in one set of unit systems. Following is the table with base SI units:

Name of the Quantity	SI Unit	SI Unit Symbol
Length (l)	Meter	m
Mass (M)	Kilogram	kg
Time (T)	Second	s
Electric current (I)	Ampere	A
Thermodynamic temperature (Θ)	Kelvin	K
Amount of substance (N)	Mole	mol
Luminous intensity (J)	Candela	cd

Physics Definitions

This post contains all the important definitions of Physics that you need for your O-Level, A-Level, Matriculation, Intermediate level notes. All the definitions provide in very simple way which will help to understand and learn easily.

Measurement:

Scalar quantities are quantities in which the magnitude is stated, but the direction is either not applicable or not specified. Vector quantities are quantities in which both the magnitude and the direction must be stated. Random errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities differ from the mean value with different magnitudes and directions. Systematic errors are errors of measurements in which the measured quantities are displaced from the true value by fixed magnitude and in the same direction. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with each other.
