Every scientific explanation is realized with the aid of a number of physical quantities — each expresses a special meaning and significance in that context. By definition, a physical quantity is measurable and quantifiable physical property that carries unique information with it. Based on the dependency nature, such quantities can be of two types — fundamental and derived. A fundamental quantity is one that is independent of other properties; while,

Every physical “matter” intrinsically consists of one or more “properties” (such as mass, weight, length, velocity, temperature, current, etc.). By definition, every property of a matter is measurable and quantifiable. Measurement of a property can be carried out with suitable instrument. However, to quantify the measured result, a “magnitude” along with its “unit” is required to present. By definition, a unit of measurement indicates “a standardized and well-defined magnitude of
