Ampere

Electric Current

The ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge in motion per unit time ― that is, electric current.



But the quantity of electric charge by itself, whether in motion or not, is expressed by another SI unit, the coulomb (C).

Ampere - Hour

Quantity of Electricity

Ampere hour -- sometimes abbreviated as Ah or amp hour -- is the amount of energy charge in a battery that enables 1 ampere of current to flow for one hour.

Angstrom

Displacement / Wave length of light

It is sometimes used to express wavelength s of visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, X rays, and gamma rays.

BTU

Energy

A British thermal unit (Btu) is a measure of the heat content of fuels or energy sources. It is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature that water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit).



One British thermal unit (Btu) is approximately equal to the energy released by burning a match.

Dioptre

Power of a lens

Diopter, in optics, unit of magnifying power of a lens or lens system. Because the power of a lens is proportional to unity (one) divided by the focal length (see lens), the power of a lens in diopters is numerically equal to 1 m divided by the focal length in metres.

Dyne

Force

Electron volt

Energy

Electron volt, unit of energy commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics, equal to the energy gained by an electron (a charged particle carrying unit electronic charge) when the electrical potential at the electron increases by one volt.

Erg

Work

Erg

Work

Erg, unit of energy or work in the centimetre-gram-second system of physical units used in physics; to lift a pound weight one foot requires 1.356 × 107 ergs. It equals the work done by a force of one dyne acting through a distance of one centimetre and is equal to 10-7 joule, the standard unit of work or energy.

Faraday

Electric Charge

Gram

Mass

Gram weight

Gravitational Force

A gram- force, is a gravitational unit of force.



That is one gram force is defined as the force exerted by one gram of mass in the standard value of gravitational field.



The gram-force is equal to the product of mass of one gram by the standard acceleration due to gravity.

Henry

Inductance

The henry is a large unit of inductance. In audio-frequency ( AF ) and radio-frequency ( RF ) applications.

Horse Power

Power

Joule

Work

Kilo watt

Electric Power

Watts are the SI unit of power.



Kilowatts are equivalent to 1,000 Watts and are the most frequently used unit of electrical power.

Kilowatt - hour

Electric Power

The kilowatt-hour (symbolized kWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt (1 kW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. The kilowatt-hour is not a standard unit in any formal system, but it is commonly used in electrical applications.

Knot

Speed

Light Year

Distance

Litre

Volume

Lumen

Luminus Flux

One lumen is the amount of light emitted in a solid angle of 1 sr, from a source that radiates to an equal extent in all directions, and whose intensity is 1 cd.

Lux

Intensity of illumination / Illuminance

The lux is a small unit. An alternative unit is the watt per meter squared

Maxwell

Magnetic Flux

The name of the unit honors James Clerk Maxwell, who formulated a unified theory of electromagnetism.

Siemens

Electric conductence

Siemens AG is a German company engaged in electrical engineering and electronics.

Tesla

Magnetic Flux Density

The tesla was named for Nikola Tesla , the Serbian-American scientist who contributed greatly toward the development of modern-day electrical power systems.

Volt

Electric Potential Difference

Electric potential difference is also known as voltage.



The size of 1 volt is officially defined as the potential difference between two points of a wire carrying a current of 1 ampere when the power dissipated in the wire is 1 watt.

Weber

Magnetic Flux

Weber, unit of magnetic flux in the International System of Units (SI),



defined as the amount of flux that, linking an electrical circuit of one turn (one loop of wire), produces in it an electromotive force of one volt as the flux is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second.



It was named in honour of the 19th-century German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber and equals 108 maxwells, the unit used in the centimetre–gram–second system.
