SI Mechanical Units
Fundamental Units
Length: meter (m) Mass: kilogram (kg) Time: second (s)
Derived Units
Meter Squared (m2) Liter
Unit of Force
Newton (N): the force which will give a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter per second per second.
Force mass acceleration

The joule is defined as the amount of work done when a force of 1 newton acts through a distance of 1 meter. The joule may also be termed a newton-meter.
Energy: the capacity for doing work, joule (J) Power: the time rate of doing work
If a certain amount of work W is to be done in a time t, the power required is
Work Power time
The Watt is defined as the power developed when 1 joule of work is done in 1 second.
SI Electrical Units
Units of Current and Charge
Ampere (A): the unit of electric current and is defined as that constant current which, when flowing in each of two infinitely long parallel conductors 1 meter apart, exert a force of
2 10 7 newton per meter
of length of each conductor Coulomb (C) is defined as that charge which passes a given point in a conductor each second, when a current of 1 ampere flows.
Amperes Coulombs Seconds
Inductance
The inductance of a circuit is 1 henry (H) when an emf of 1 volt is induced by the current changing at the rate of 1 A/s.
Capacitance
The farad (F): is the capacitance of a capacitor that contain a charge of 1 coulomb when the potential difference between its terminals is 1 volt

SI Temperature Scales
Celsius scale; has 100 equal divisions (or degrees) Kelvin scale (absolute scale)
Commences at absolute zero temperature (-273.15oC)
Dimensions
Standards
International Standards
Defined by international agreements and maintained at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France
Primary Standards
Maintained at institutions in various countries around the world Main function: Checking the accuracy of secondary standards
Secondary Standards
Employed in industry as references for calibrating high-accuracy equipment and components and for verifying the accuracy of working standards
Working Standards
Used as measurement references on a day-to-day basis in all electronics 9 lab
