List of physical quantities
This is a table of physical quantities. The first table lists the base quantities used in the International System of Units to define the physical dimension of physical quantities for dimensional analysis. The second table lists the derived physical quantities. Derived quantities can be mentioned in terms of the base quantities. Note that neither the names nor the symbols used for the physical quantities are international standards. Some quantities are known as several different names such as the magnetic "B-field" which known as the "magnetic flux density", the "magnetic induction" or simply as the "magnetic  field" depending on the context. Similarly, surface tension can be denoted by either "σ", "γ" or "T". The table usually lists only one name and symbol. The final column lists some special properties that some of the quantities have, such as their scaling behavior (i.e. whether the quantity is intensive or extensive), their transformation properties (i.e. whether the quantity is a scalar, vector or tensor), and whether the quantity is conserved.
