प्रश्न
A physical quantity is measured and the result is expressed as nu where u is the unit used and n is the numerical value. If the result is expressed in various units then
पर्याय
n ∝ size of u
n ∝ u2
n ∝ `sqrt (u)`
n ∝ `1/u`

उत्तर
n ∝ `1/u`
The larger the unit used to express the physical quantity, the lesser will be the numerical value.
