Interpretation:
Units for the electric power should be determined as the combination of fundamental S. I. units.
Concept Introduction:
SI stands for International System of units.
SI defines 7 units of different quantities as the basic units from which all other SI units are derived. These basic units are:
Quantity | Unit |
Mass | Kilogarm (Kg) |
Length | Metre (m) |
Time | Second (s) |
Electric current | Ampere (A) |
Temperature | Kelvin (K) |
Luminous intensity | Candela |
Amount of substance | Mole |
Answer to Problem 1.1P
Units for the electric power as the combination of fundamental S. I. units is -
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The given quantity is Electric Power.
- Electric power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by a circuit.
- SI unit of Electric Power − Watt
But watt is not a fundamental unit, so it has to be converted into fundamental units as following-
Electric Power =
Therefore, unit of electric power =watt =
=
Interpretation:
The units for the electric charge as the combination of fundamental S. I. units should be determined.

Answer to Problem 1.1P
Units for the electric charge as the combination of fundamental S. I. units is -
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The given quantity is Electric Charge.
- It is a physical property which enables the substance to experience a force in the magnetic field. Its SI unit is Coulomb (C), but it is also not a fundamental unit. Thus it is need to be converted into fundamental units.
1 coulomb = 1 ampere-second.
Therefore, unit of electric charge =
Interpretation:
The units for the electric potential difference as the combination of fundamental S. I. units should be determined.

Answer to Problem 1.1P
Units for the electric potential difference as the combination of fundamental S. I. units is -
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The given quantity is Electric Potential Difference.
- It is the amount of work done in carrying a charge from one point to another in an electric field. Its SI unit is Volt (V).
Therefore, unit of electric potential difference = V =
Interpretation:
The units for the electric resistance as the combination of fundamental S. I. units should be determined.
