The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is not a fundamental unit in the SI system, we need to identify the fundamental units and derived units. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Fundamental Units**: The SI system has seven fundamental units: - Meter (m) for length - Kilogram (kg) for mass - Second (s) for time - Ampere (A) for electric current - Kelvin (K) for temperature - Mole (mol) for the amount of substance - Candela (cd) for luminous intensity 2. **List the Given Options**: The options provided in the question are: - Option 1: Ampere (A) - Option 2: Candela (cd) - Option 3: Kelvin (K) - Option 4: Pascal (Pa) 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Ampere (A)**: This is the unit of electric current and is a fundamental unit. - **Candela (cd)**: This is the unit of luminous intensity and is also a fundamental unit. - **Kelvin (K)**: This is the unit of temperature and is a fundamental unit. - **Pascal (Pa)**: This is the unit of pressure. Pressure is defined as force per unit area (N/m²), which involves mass, length, and time. Therefore, Pascal is a derived unit, not a fundamental unit. 4. **Conclusion**: Since Pascal is derived from other fundamental units, it is not a fundamental unit in the SI system. ### Final Answer: The option that is not a fundamental unit in the SI system is **Option 4: Pascal (Pa)**.
