Candela (cd) is one of the seven SI base units, measures luminous intensity. Lumen is luminous flux (lm = cd·sr). Lux is illuminance (lx = lm/m²). Watt is power.
Explanation:
Photovoltaic cell (solar cell) directly converts sunlight to electricity. Solar heater uses sun to heat water, not electricity. Wind turbine converts wind energy. Battery stores chemical energy.
Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.
