    This document defines the standard International System of Units (SI units) used to measure basic electrical quantities. It provides tables of standard SI units for length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, luminous intensity, and amount of substance. It also defines prefixes that are used to denote multiples or fractions of units, such as kilo, milli, and micro. The document then defines common electrical quantities like charge, work, power, electromotive force, resistance, current, conductance, and energy. It provides the standard unit and symbol used to measure each quantity. Several examples are included to demonstrate calculating values using the defined units and relationships between quantities.

    UNIT 1 UNITS ASSOSIATED WITH BASIC ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES


    1.1 SI Unit
    The system of units used in engineering and science is International system of units, usually
    abbreviated to SI units, and is based on the metric system.

    Table 1.1 Basic SI Unit


    Quantity Unit Unit Symbol
    Length metre m
    Mass kilogram kg
    Time second s
    Electric current Ampere A
    Temperature Kelvin K
    Luminous intensity candela cd
    Amount of substance mole mol

    SI units may be made larger or smaller by using prefixes which denote multiplication or division
    by a particular amount. A prefix may be added to a unit to produce a multiple of the original
    unit. All multiple are integer power of ten. A prefix usually used show in Table 1.2.
