I was bored so I make fun with derivations of SI units of many Physics formulas.

f = 1/t

Unit: Hz (Hertz)
Derived Unit(s): s-1 (per second)



W = Fs

Unit: J (Joule)
Derived Unit(s): N m (Newton-metre)
Further Derived Unit(s): kg m s-2 x m = kg m2 s-2 (kilogram-metre squared per second squared)

(N = kg m s-2)



q = I/t (I = q/t)

Unit: C (Coulomb)
Derived Unit(s): A s (Ampere-second)

(A = C s-1)



R = V/I [V = IR (Ohm's Law)]

Unit: Ω (Ohm)
Derived Unit(s): V A-1 (Volts per ampere)
Further Derived Unit(s): kg m2 s-3 A-1 x A-1 = kg m2 A-2 s-3 (kilogram-metre squared per Ampere squared-second cubed)

(V = kg m2 s-3 A-1)



V = E/q (V = ΔPE/q)

Unit: V [Voltage (Potential Difference or Electromotive force (emf))]
Derived Unit(s): J C-1
Further Derived Unit(s): kg m2 s-2 x A-1 s-1 = kg m2 A-1 s-3 (kilogram-metre squared per Ampere-second cubed)

(J = kg m2 s-2 & C = A s)



P = E/t

Unit: W (Watt)
Derived Unit(s): J s-1 (Joules per second)
Further Derived Unit(s): kg m2 s-2 x s-1 = kg m2 s-3

(J = kg m2 s-2)



F = ma (Newton's Second Law)

Unit: N (Newton)
Derived Unit(s): kg m s-2 (kilogram-metre per second squared)

(a = m s-2 = N kg-1)



B = F / LI (F = LIB)

Unit: T (Testla)
Derived Unit(s): N m-1 A-1 (Newton per metre-Ampere)
Further Derived Unit(s): kg m s-2 x m-1 x A-1 = kg A-1 s-2 (kilogram per Ampere-second squared)

(N = kg m s-2)

&

Wb m-2 (Weber per metre squared)



Ф = BA

Unit: Wb (Weber)
Derived Unit(s): T m2 (Testla-metre squared)
Further Derived Unit(s): kg A-1 s-2 x m-2 = kg A-1 m-2 s-2 (kilogram per Ampere-metre squared-second squared)

(T = kg A-1 s-2)

Fenris, I had to do that when I did Physics (when I did it). It is the easiest way to remember formulae. ;) Or, at least know that you have the right answer when you get it.
