UNITS AND
MEASURE-
© The SI system : It is the international
system of units. At present internationally
accepted for measurement. In this system
there are seven fundamental and two
supplementary quantities and their
corresponding units are:
(Quantity Unit Symbol
1. Length metre ™
2 Mass kilooram | kg
3. Time second 8
J4. Electric current ampere A
5. Temperature kelvin kK
6 Luminous intensity | candela ed
7. Amount of substance | mole mol

[2. Solid angle steradi st
Dimensions : These are the powers to which the fundamental
tits are raised to get the unit of a physical quantity.
Uses of dimensions
(To check the correstness of a physical relation
To derive relationship between different physcal quantities.
(ii) To convert one system of unit into another.

Significant figures: In any measurement, the reliable digits
plus the first unceriain digit are known as significant figures.
Error : Iis the difference between the measured value and
true value ofa physical quantity or the uncertainty in the
measurements.
Absolute error : The magnitude of the difference between the
true value and the measured value is called absolute error.

Diodes can be used for rectifying an ac voltage (restricting,
the ac voltage to one direction),
Zener diode is one such special purpose diode. In reverse
bias, after a certain voltage, the current suddenly increases,
(breakdown voltage) in a Zener diode. This property has
been used to obtain voltage regulation.
