    atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density also called the magnetic field density or magnetic induction tesla (T), or equivalently, weber per square meter (Wb/m 2) capacitance: farad (F) heat capacity: joule per kelvin (J⋅K −1)

  3. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

    The general form of wavefunction for a system of particles, each with position r i and z-component of spin s z i. Sums are over the discrete variable s z , integrals over continuous positions r . For clarity and brevity, the coordinates are collected into tuples, the indices label the particles (which cannot be done physically, but is ...

  7. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  8. Glossary of elementary quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_elementary...

    A state is a complete description of the observable properties of a physical system. Sometimes the word is used as a synonym of "wave function" or "pure state". State vector synonymous to "wave function". Statistical ensemble A large number of copies of a system. System A sufficiently isolated part in the universe for investigation.

  9. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    This led to a number of the other SI base units being defined indirectly in terms of the mass of the same artefact; the mole, the ampere, and the candela were linked through their definitions to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram, a roughly golfball-sized platinum–iridium cylinder stored in a vault near Paris.
