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.

Despre acest pachet

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. Fișa 104

    Întrebare

    Întrebare

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

    Răspuns

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

  110. Fișa 110

    Întrebare

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

    Răspuns

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