Differentiate Between Fundamental and Derived Units
| Type of Unit | Definition | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Fundamental Units | The basic units that are independent and not derived | metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s) |
| Derived Units | Units formed by combining fundamental units | newton (N), joule (J), m/s, m² |
➡️ Key Difference:
-
Fundamental units are the building blocks.
-
Derived units are created from these building blocks through multiplication or division.
