Which of the following is a derived unit in SI system?
A. Ampere
B. Kelvin
C. Mole
D. Newton
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Newton is a derived unit representing force, defined as kg·m/s². Kelvin (temperature), Ampere (current), and Mole (amount of substance) are fundamental SI units. Derived units are combinations of fundamental units through physical relationships. Newton comes from Newton's second law: F = ma. Memory aid: Remember the seven fundamental SI units: meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela. All others like newton, joule, watt are derived. This distinction is essential for unit conversion questions in competitive exams.
