  3. National Medical and Dental College Admission Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Medical_and...

    Provincial medical entrance exams included the MDCAT conducted by the University of Health Sciences, Lahore in Punjab and Balochistan before the NMDCAT. It was implemented in 1998 as the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) on the initiative of the then chief minister of Punjab Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif to counter replete cheating in HSSC exams at the time.

  4. Standard (metrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(metrology)

    In metrology (the science of measurement), a standard (or etalon) is an object, system, or experiment that bears a defined relationship to a unit of measurement of a physical quantity. [1] Standards are the fundamental reference for a system of weights and measures , against which all other measuring devices are compared.

  5. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

    Ampèremetre (Ammeter) A physical quantity (or simply quantity) [1] [a] is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement.A physical quantity can be expressed as a value, which is the algebraic multiplication of a numerical value and a unit of measurement.

  6. Natural units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units

    In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.

  7. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring instruments, and formal test methods which define the instrument's use, are the means by which these relations of numbers are obtained.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating-sample_magnetometer

    Relation to Physics [ edit ] The VSM relies on Faraday's law of induction , with the detection of the emf given by ε = N d d t ( B A c o s ϑ ) {\displaystyle \varepsilon =N{d \over dt}(BAcos\vartheta )} , [ 7 ] where N is the number of wire turns, A is the area, and ϑ {\displaystyle \vartheta } the angle between the normal of the coil and ...

  9. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    Many parameters and measurements in the physical sciences and engineering are expressed as a concrete number—a numerical quantity and a corresponding dimensional unit. Often a quantity is expressed in terms of several other quantities; for example, speed is a combination of length and time, e.g. 60 kilometres per hour or 1.4 kilometres per ...
