  2. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    An alternative system of geometrized units is often used in particle physics and cosmology, in which 8πG = 1 instead. This introduces an additional factor of 8π into Newton's law of universal gravitation but simplifies the Einstein field equations , the Einstein–Hilbert action , the Friedmann equations and the Newtonian Poisson equation by ...

  4. 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.

  5. Standard (metrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(metrology)

    The international prototype of the kilogram (IPK) is an artefact or prototype that was defined to have a mass of exactly one kilogram.. In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. [1]

  6. Maxwell (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_(unit)

    1 maxwell = 1 gauss × 2. That is, one maxwell is the total flux across a surface of one square centimetre perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength one gauss. The weber is the related SI unit of magnetic flux, which was defined in 1946. [9] 1 maxwell ≘ 10 −4 tesla × (10 −2 metre) 2 = 10 −8 weber

  8. SI base unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

    "The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J s , which is equal to kg m 2 s −1 , where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆ ν Cs ."

  9. SI derived unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_derived_unit

    The SI has special names for 22 of these coherent derived units (for example, hertz, the SI unit of measurement of frequency), but the rest merely reflect their derivation: for example, the square metre (m 2), the SI derived unit of area; and the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m 3 or kg⋅m −3), the SI derived unit of density.
