Parameter | Description |
name | The physical quantity's name |
othernames | Other names (synonyms) |
width | To specify the template's width (defaults to 20.5em) |
background | To specify the template's background colo/ur (defaults to {Infobox}'s default) |
image | To include an image (file name only, e.g. Example.jpg ) |
caption | To include a caption under the image |
symbols | The symbol or symbols used to indicate the quantity in e.g. formulae. |
baseunits (basequantities) | The quantity expressed in SI base units. |
dimension | The quantity's dimension (a product of powers of length L, time T, etc.). Type "wikidata" to pull the entry from wikidata ISQ dimension (P4020), or type your own expression. |
unit | The SI unit in which the quantity is expressed |
otherunits | Other (non-SI) units used to measure the quantity |
extensive | Is the quantity an extensive quantity? (yes/no) |
intensive | Is the quantity an intensive quantity? (yes/no) |
conserved | Is the quantity a conserved quantity? (yes/no) |
transformsas | The behaviour of the quantity under coordinate transformation (scalar, vector, pseudovector, 4-vector, tensor, etc) |
derivations | Common way/s to express the quantity using other quantities |
value | The quantity value, including numerical value and unit symbols; useful for physical constants. |
