Define a fundamental unit.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The fundamental units are the units of the fundamental quantities, as defined by the International System of Units. They are not dependent upon any other units, and all other units are derived from them. Example: meter, kilogram, second, mol, candela, ampere, kelvin.
