Measurement
Introduction – Measurement
Physics is the study of the fundamental properties of matter and energy.
It deals majorly, with the measurement of physical quantities, and is
based on the exact measurement of these quantities and their units.
Generally, different instruments are employed for measuring different
quantities.
In physics, these quantities are divided into two which are Fundamental
quantity and Derived quantity.
Fundamental Quantities and Units
What are Fundamental Quantities?
Fundamental quantities are basic quantities from which all other
quantities are derived from and they are independent of others.
The most important fundamental or basic quantities are:
1. Mass
2. Length
3. Time
4. Amount of substance
5. Luminous intensity
6. Current
7. Temperature
