We will learn about ‘units and measurement’ in the 1st chapter of physics. If you are in class 11 or have an interest in fundamental principles of physics.Introduction of Class 11 Physics Chapter 1In this blog, we will provide you with detailed Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 notes that are designed to not only help you understand the subject matter but also serve as a valuable resource for your academic journey. We will learn about the key concepts, equations, and principles covered in this chapter, making it easier for you to score good marks in class 11.let’s embark on this educational journey together and unlock the mysteries of Class 11 Physics Chapter 1. Let’s begin by exploring the significance of units and measurements in the world of physics.Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 NotesDefine Physical QuantitiesThose quantities which can be measured or weighted are called physical quantities.Example – Length, time, mass, etc.A physical quantity is represented by the product of numerical value and unitQuantity = Numerical + Unit (Q = n x u)The numerical value is inversely proportional to the unit.n ∝ 1/uFor two quantity- n₁/n₂ = u₂/u₁ → n₁ u₁ = n₂ u₂UnitThe specific amount of any quantity by which we measured the quantity is called a unit.Types of Physical Quantities1. Fundamental quantities(Physics)Those quantities that are independent of each other are called fundamental quantities.Fundamental Quantities ExampleMeter, seconds, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela.QuantityUnitLengthMeter(m)MassKilogram(Kg)TimeSeconds(S)Fundamental Quantities units2. Derived QuantitiesThose Quantities which depend on fundamental quantities are called derived quantities. They have a finite formula.Example- Area, volume, speed, distance.System of International Units1. MKS System UnitsA system in which the length is measured in meters, mass is measured in kilograms, and time is measured in seconds is called the MKS System. It is a French system.2. CGS System UnitsA system in which length is measured in centimeter, mass is measured in gram, and time is measured in second are called a CGS System3. FPS System UnitsA System in which length is measured in feet, mass is measured in the pond, and time in seconds is called an FPS System UnitsSI System UnitIn 1960 the International Council of Measurement and Weight suggested a single system for all the quantities which is called the SI System unit. It is broad from the MKS System.QuantityUnitSymbolLengthMeterMMassKilogramKgTimeSecondSCurrentAmpereAKelvinKelveinKAmount of SubMoleMolLuminous InfinityCandelaCdSI SystemSupplementary:-QuantityFormulaUnit2D Angleθ = Arc/RadiusRadian3D Angle–SteradianSupplementary SI UnitDerived QuantitiesS.
