O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/19

Explanation
Matching SI units to physical quantities
Steps:
- Identify the quantity as latent heat, which measures energy absorbed or released during phase change per unit mass.
- Recall that energy is measured in joules (J) and mass in kilograms (kg).
- Divide energy by mass to get the specific latent heat unit: J/kg.
- Verify against options to confirm the match.
Why B is correct:
- Latent heat is defined as heat energy per unit mass, so its SI unit is J/kg from Q = mL, where L is latent heat.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Electromotive force uses volts (V), not newtons (N), which is force.
- C: Pressure is force per area (N/m² or Pa), not kg/m.
- D: Weight is force (N), not mass (kg).
Final answer: B
