Question

Write any two differences between fundamental and derived quantities

Answer 1

Answer:

Fundamental units are independently defined, and often the quantities are directly measurable in a physical system. Derived quantity: Derived quantities are formed by product of powers of fundamental units. In other words, these quantities can be derived using fundamental units.

Explanation:

Answer 2

ANSWER:

The quantities that do not depend on any other physical quantity for their measurements are known as fundamental quantities. There are only 7 physical quantities. And rest of all other quantities are derived quantities. Derived quantities are products and/or ratios of the fundamental quantities that exist in a system of units.  

The seven fundamental quantities are :  

Mass : Kilogram

Time : Second

Length : Meter

Temperature : Kelvin

Electric current : Ampere  

Amount of substance : Mole

Luminous Intensity : Candela
