• The quantities which are used in Physics and have some

measurement are called as Physical Quantities.

• Types of Physical quantities

1. Fundamental / Basic Physical Quantities

2. Derived Physical Quantities

3. Supplementary Physical Quantities

• Fundamental Physical Quantities

These Physical Quantities are 7 in number.

1. Mass (Kilogram)

2. Length (meter)

3. Time (seconds)

4. Temperature (Kelvin)

5. Electric Current (Ampere)

6. Luminous Intensity (Candela)

7. Amount of Substance (Mole)

• Derived Physical Quantities

They are the quantities that have been derived from Fundamental

Physical Quantities.

Physical Quantities
N.T.S.E

For Example

1. Area = Length * Breadth

2. Speed = Distance (Length) /Time

3. Acceleration = (Speed) Velocity/Time

4. Force = Mass * Acceleration

5. Work = Force * Displacement (Distance)

• SYSTEM OF UNITS

1. C.G.S. System (Centimeter, Gram, Second)

2. F.P.S. System (Foot, Pound, Second)

3. M.F.S. (Meter, Kilogram , Second)

4. S.I. System or the International System of Units (System De’

International) is also known as the rationalized M.K.S. System.
