The tities like length, mass, time, temperature, volume and density etc, which can be Teawured are known as physical quantities. ‘A physical quantity is represented by a number followed by # unit, The ‘number plus unit! is known as the ‘magnitude’ of the physical quantity PHYSICAL QUANTITIES ARE OF TWO TYPES: (i) Basic physical quantities, (ii) Derived physical quantities. BASIC PHYSICAL QUANTITIES: Physical quantity expressed in terms of standard units which are independent of each other are called Basic Physical Quantities. There are a total of 7 basic physical quantities. Length, mass, time, inten quantities of physics can be expressed in tefmns of these physical quantities. Basic Physical Qual are also Known as Fundamental ‘physical Quantities. R DERIVED PHYSICAL Q1 oe A Physical Quantity expreg AN term of 2or more fundamental units ha independent qu area existence are called Derived ‘al Quantitites.
