Asked in PMC Practice Test 4 (2022) 2022

All of the following are equivalent to watt except:

Correct answer: D. Amperes/volt

  • A. (Amperes)2ohm
  • B. Joules/ sec
  • C. Amperes x volts
  • D. Amperes/volt

Explanation

Power is measured in watts. P = I x V (power is current times voltage) and it is NOT current divided by voltage. So, A/V can't be equivalent to watt and hence, option D is correct.

About Physical Quantities and Units

Physical quantities combine a numerical value with a unit, and are expressed using SI base units or derived units such as newtons, joules and pascals. The topic covers prefixes, unit conversion, dimensional analysis, significant figures and measurement uncertainty, while distinguishing scalar quantities from vectors where direction matters.
