         Fundamental quantities  Fundamental quantities are the basic quantities that are independent of other quantities. They cannot be defined in terms of other quantities or derived from them. Most of the derived quantities depend on them. Examples of fundamental quantities are Length, Mass, Time, Temperature, Electric current, Amount of substance, and Luminous intensity. Note:     The three most important basic quantities in Physics are length, mass, and time                   Fundamental Units   Fundamental units are the basic units upon which other units depend. They are the units of fundamental quantities. Examples of fundamental units are  meter (m), kilogram (kg), seconds (s), kelvin (k), ampere (A), mole (mol), and candela (cd). Fundamental quantities and their units  Fundamental quantities Units Symbols Length ...

PHYSICS is a branch of pure science that deals with the study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. This energy can take the form of motion, light, electricity, radiation, gravity, etc.                 Subject areas in physics Physics as a subject is divided into the following broad branches which are  1. Mechanics  2. Waves  3. Electromagnetism 4. Optics  5. Nuclear physics  6. Thermodynamics  •Mechanics  is a branch of physics that deals with motion under the influence of forces. This includes both bodies in motion and bodies at rest. •Waves is a branch of physics that deals with the propagation of energy through space. •Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the interaction of electric and magnetic fields. •Optics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of light in various media such as glass and water  •Nuclear physics deals with the beh...
