SI Units Flashcards: 7 Base Units & 22 Named Derived Units

Practice all 7 SI base units and 22 derived units with special names: quantities, symbols, and base-unit expressions in one installable deck.

O tej talii

Most SI lists are easy to scan and awkward to recall. These 110 text-only cards turn the complete core into small retrieval tasks: all seven base units and all 22 derived units with special names and symbols.

What the cards practice

  • Quantity ↔ unit and symbol: recall each base quantity and every named derived quantity in both directions.

  • Named unit ↔ coherent base-unit expression: expand all 22 special names, then reverse the mapping with the quantity supplied whenever an expression is shared.

  • Notation and distinctions: keep case, spacing, symbol grammar, Hz/Bq, Gy/Sv, rad/sr, and kelvin/degree Celsius intervals straight.

The deck leaves out prefixes, conversions, non-SI units, unnamed derived units, significant figures, uncertainty, laboratory procedures, historical definitions, defining-constant values, and proprietary exam material. Expression-to-unit prompts always state the quantity, so shared expressions such as s⁻¹ and m²·s⁻² stay unambiguous.

The sequence establishes the seven base units first. It then alternates the 22 named units with a deterministic stride before moving from identity recall to base-unit expressions. Related directions and easy-to-confuse units stay at least three unrelated cards apart; the review scheduler handles longer-term spacing after installation.

Facts were checked against the BIPM SI Brochure, 9th edition, version 4.01 and NIST SP 330 §2, with notation checked against NIST SP 330 §5. The 2026 BIPM edition expresses radian and steradian as unit one; this deck follows that current form. No source prose, third-party deck text, or exam content was copied.

An AI tool helped draft and sequence the cards and generated the cover. Every final front and back was manually checked against the official SI tables. The original questions, answers, selection, sequence, metadata, and cover are shared under CC0 1.0 to the extent those elements can be dedicated; the underlying SI facts remain common knowledge.

  104. Karta 104

    Pytanie

    What determines capitalization in an SI unit symbol?

    Odpowiedź

    Symbols derived from proper names start with a capital letter; the others are lowercase. Case is mandatory and meaningful.

  105. Karta 105

    Pytanie

    Odpowiedź

    They never take a plural ending, and they take no period unless the symbol ends a sentence. Unit symbols are mathematical symbols, not abbreviations.

  106. Karta 106

    Pytanie

    How should a number and an SI unit symbol be spaced?

    Odpowiedź

  107. Karta 107

    Pytanie

    Both hertz and becquerel reduce to s⁻¹. When is each used?

    Odpowiedź

    Use hertz (Hz) for periodic phenomena and becquerel (Bq) for activity referred to a radionuclide. The shared expression doesn't make the quantities interchangeable.

  108. Karta 108

    Pytanie

    Both gray and sievert reduce to m²·s⁻². What distinguishes them?

    Odpowiedź

    Gray (Gy) is used for absorbed dose or kerma; sievert (Sv) is used for dose equivalent. The quantity context determines the special name.

  109. Karta 109

    Pytanie

    Radian and steradian both have coherent unit expression 1. What distinguishes them?

    Odpowiedź

    Radian (rad) is used for plane angle; steradian (sr) is used for solid angle. Their symbols preserve the quantity context.

  110. Karta 110

    Pytanie

    For temperature intervals, how do kelvin and degrees Celsius compare?

    Odpowiedź

    A change of 1 K equals a change of 1 °C. Their zero points differ, so absolute temperatures aren't numerically equal.
