Explanation

• The SI unit of sound intensity is watt per square meter (W/m²).
• Sound intensity is the amount of sound power passing through a unit area.
• It shows how strong or weak a sound wave is at a particular point.
• Sound intensity decreases as the distance from the source increases.
• Decibel (dB) is used to measure sound intensity level, not the actual intensity

Explanation

• The SI unit of electric current is Ampere (A).
• Electric current measures the flow of electric charge.
• Defined using the elementary charge (e = 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C).
• Named after: André-Marie Ampère (scientist).
• 1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second (1 A = 1 C/s).

Explanation

• The SI unit of electrical resistance is Ohm (Ω).
• It measures how much a material opposes the flow of electric current.
• Higher resistance means less current flows.
• It is defined by V = IR (Ohm’s Law).
• 1 Ohm = 1 Volt per Ampere.
