7、 2006 IEEE. All rights reserved. Introduction This standard supersedes IEEE Std 270-1966. Since the 1966 standard was approved, significant changes have occurred in the International System of Units (SI). Corresponding updates have been issued for some of the documents referred to in this standard.
8、Significantly, those updates represent a movement toward greater formalism in dealing with quantities and valuesan area that has become known as the quantity calculus. Those updates also represent a movement toward global consensus, necessary for international harmonization of standards, which is ne
9、eded for an increasingly global economy. The global community has made great strides toward universally recognized and used units that transcend language groups, fields of study, and industries. The once common use of thousands of units, some arcane and used only in small fields, others more popular
10、ly used but varying in definition, has been replaced by a very small set of simple and well-defined units, the SI. Those defined units are based on fundamental physical quantities. The SI is a practical system. The Eighth Edition of the BIPM brochure B1aon the International System of Units states “T
11、he definitions of the base units of the SI were adoped in a context that takes no account of relativistic effects. When such account is taken, it is clear that the definitions apply only in a small spatial domain sharing the motion of the standards that realize them.” The SI includes simple rules th
12、at provide robust means by which to combine that small set of units to meet nearly every need in commerce, science, engineering, and technology. Necessarily, the parsimonious nature of this system requires exacting compliance with the rules provided for using those unitsa “grammar” that is as tight
13、as its vocabulary is “succinct.” The global movement toward universally recognized and used quantities is paralleling the progress made on units, but it is not as greatly advanced. Nonetheless, great strides have been made and, increasingly, international consensus is consolidating the thousands of
14、variants for quantity names and symbols to a smaller set. This consolidation of system of quantities, too, requires the use of rigid rules of the quantity calculuss “grammar” to ensure universal understanding and usefulness. It is appropriate, therefore, that the IEEE make this standard available to
15、 describe quantities commonly used or encountered in its community.

Overview This standard is divided into the following three clauses: Clause 1 provides the scope and purpose of
28、 this standard and the methodology used in devising it; Clause 2 references IEEE Std 260.1and IEEE/ASTM SI 10; and Clause 3 provides definitions.1The definitions represent the bulk of the standards material and the purpose of the revision. Annex A provides information on an alternative approach to t
29、he terms used in electricity and magnetism. 1.1 Scope This standard includes definitions for physical quantities and units commonly used in applied science and technology, and related terms that concern systems of measurement. Particular emphasis is placed on the International System of Units (SI).
30、1.2 Purpose IEEE Std 270-1966 attempted to cover not only quantities and units, but also the much broader area implied in its title, “General (Fundamental and Derived) Electrical and Electronics Terms.” This scope proved to be far too broad, and the standard could not be maintained. The purpose of t
31、his revision is to present authoritative definitions of physical quantities and units and other terms relating to measurement systems, with particular emphasis on the vocabulary used in IEEE/ASTM SI 10. 1.3 Methodology In the preparation of this standard, it was sometimes found that a formal definit
32、ion is understandable only by the relatively few persons who are familiar with a particular branch of physics, mathematics, or other specialized field of knowledge. This standard will be referred to by many individuals who are not experts in a particular field; consequently, the Definitions Working
33、Group (SCC14.2) decided that a simplified definition should occasionally accompany the more formal definition. 1For information on references, see Clause 2.

In the preparation of this standard, several references were consulted, as listed in the Bibliography (see Annex B). Many definitions in this standard re
35、flect the wording used in these sources. 2. Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amend
36、ments or corrigenda) applies. IEEE Std 260.1, IEEE Standard Letter Symbols for Units of Measurement (SI Units, Customary Inch-Pound Units, and Certain Other Units).2, 3IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American National Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric System. 3. Definiti
37、ons For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply. The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms B104should be referenced for terms not defined in this clause. - A - 3.1 A: Symbol for ampere, the SI unit of current. 3.2 absorbed dose: The mean energy imparted to
38、 an element of irradiated matter, for any ionizing radiation, divided by the mass of this element. NOTEThe symbol for this quantity is D, and its SI unit is the gray (Gy).53.3 absorbed dose rate: The time rate of change of absorbed dose. NOTEThe symbol for this quantity is dD/dt, and its SI unit is
39、the gray per second (Gy/s). 3.4 acceleration: The time rate of change of velocity, dv/dt. NOTEThe symbol for this quantity is a, and its SI unit is the meter per second squared (m/s2). 3.5 acceleration of free fall; acceleration due to gravity: The acceleration experienced by an object in free fall,
40、 i.e., influenced only by the local gravitational field. See: free fall; reference frame. 2The IEEE standards or products referred to in this clause are trademarks of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. 3IEEE publications are available from the Institute of Electrical and Ele

All rights reserved. NOTE 1 Specification of this quantity requires a reference frame. In many applications the re
43、ference frame is fixed to the surface of the rotating earth. Satellites and other space applications, however, use “inertial reference frames” that are fixed with respect to distant celestial bodies. NOTE 2 In 1901, the CGPM defined a standard acceleration due to gravity, 9.806 65 m/s2, that was use
44、d to define the now obsolete unit kilogram-force and similar force units. The local, but variable, acceleration of free fall at the surface of the Earth is close to this standard acceleration. NOTE 3 The symbol for the standard acceleration due to gravity is gn. 3.6 accuracy of measurement: The clos
45、eness of agreement between the result of a measurement and the true value of the measurand. See: measurand; precision of measurement; uncertainty of measurement; true value. 3.7 activity (of a radionuclide): The average number of spontaneous nuclear transitions from a particular energy state occurri
46、ng in an amount of a radionuclide in a small time interval, divided by that interval. NOTEThe symbol for this quantity is A, and its SI unit is the becquerel (Bq). 3.8 admittance: The ratio of the effective current I flowing in the circuit divided by the effective voltage E across its terminals. Vol
47、tage and current must be sinusoidal quantities of the same frequency. See: effective current; effective voltage; sinusoidal quantity. NOTEThe symbol for this quantity is Y, and its SI unit is the siemens (S). 3.9 amount of substance: A physical quantity that is defined to be proportional to the numb
48、er of specified elementary entities in a sample, the proportionality constant being a universal constant, which is the same for all samples. The elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles. See: mole. NOTE
49、The symbol for this quantity is n, and its SI base unit is the mole (mol). 3.10 ampacity: The current in amperes that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use for which it was designed, without exceeding its temperature rating. 3.11 ampere: That constant current that, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross section, and placed
