Give five differences between fundamental quantity and derived quantity.
The difference between fundamental quantity and derived quantity
Sr | Fundamental Quantity | Derived Quantity |
---|---|---|
1 | Fundamental quantities are those that have no reliance on any other physical quantity for their measurement. | A derived quantity is the sum, the products and/or ratios of the fundamental quantities in a system of units. |
2 | These quantities cannot be reduced any further to their simplest form. | These figures can be reduced to their most basic form, which is made up of fundamental components. |
3 | In the Metric System or SI system, there are just seven fundamental units. | In the Metric System, there are a vast number of derived units. |
4 | Examples of fundamental quantities are time , length , mass , electric current , etc. | Examples of derived quantity are heat , power , density , velocity , etc. |
