181 Views 5 Votes 8 Comments

Do you know your ohm from your pascal? Or your coulomb from your radian? Here is a quiz to test your knowledge of metric units used in science and technology. Some of these should be easy – others less so! Each question is the name of a unit, you have to say what that unit is used to measure.

    Decibel (dB)

    • Sound intensity
    • Light intensity
    • Pressure
    • Volume
  • Question of

    Kelvin (K)

    • Wind pressure
    • Earthquake intensity
    • Absolute temperature
    • Mass of an object
  • Question of

    Ampere (A)

    • Electric current
    • Resistance
    • Electric charge
    • Radioactivity
  • Question of

    Watt (W)

    • Not from me you haven’t! It is highly likely that I am not the first person to think that this would be a good idea, and I definitely did not pinch any questions from a quiz already on Virily – any similarity is therefore pure coincidence.

      • Haha of course, I wasn’t accusing you of such a thing! 🙂

        I think I would have done much worse on this had I not come across something similar before though, so lucky for me!
