Definitions of the SI base units

Unit of length meter The meter is the length of the path travelled by
light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299
792 458 of a second.

Unit of mass kilogram The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to


the mass of the international prototype of the
kilogram.

Unit of time second The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770
periods of the radiation corresponding to the
transition between the two hyperfine levels of
the ground state of the cesium 133 atom.

Unit of ampere The ampere is that constant current which, if


electric current maintained in two straight parallel conductors
of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-
section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum,
would produce between these conductors a
force equal to 2 x 10-7 newton per meter of
length.

Unit of kelvin The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature,


thermodynamic is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic
temperature temperature of the triple point of water.

Unit of mole 1. The mole is the amount of substance of a


amount of system which contains as many elementary
substance entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of
carbon 12; its symbol is "mol."
2. When the mole is used, the elementary
entities must be specified and may be atoms,
molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or
specified groups of such particles.

Unit of candela The candela is the luminous intensity, in a


luminous given direction, of a source that emits
intensity monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x
1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in
that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.
