4.1 Nature and classification of physical quantities

SCROLL TO TOP

4.1.1 Dimensional and tensorial nature

Two independent systems can be used to classify good physical quantities with reference to either their dimensional or tensorial nature. Just because the latter is (wrongly) less widely taught than the former, doesn't mean that it should be overlooked as being very complicated.

  • The dimensional nature of a quantity is well known. To demonstrate this, we consider the quantities chosen...
