Are classified into two types: 
• Base quantities 
• Derived quantities 
Physical Quantities 
Base quantity 
For example : is like 
the brick – the basic 
building block of a 
house 
Derived quantity  
For example : is like 
the house that was 
build up from a collection 
of bricks (basic quantity)

Definitions :- 
 
 
• Base quantities 
are the 
quantities on the 
basis of which 
other quantities 
are expressed.  
• The quantities 
that are 
expressed in 
terms of base 
quantities are 
called derived 
quantities
