From the Wikipedia article about the radian: "The unit was formerly a SI supplementary unit, but this category was abolished in 1995 and the radian is now considered a SI derived unit." The radian can be derived as the ratio between two lengths. That makes it a dimensionless unit.

The derived quantity is a quantity which has been derived from 2 or more base quantities. Example: Velocity is the rate of change of distance and is written in terms of distance divided by time which are two base quantities.


Is volume fundamental or derived quantity?

Volume is a derived quantity because it is calculated by multiplying three lengths together in the SI system of units. The SI base units for length are meters, so volume is expressed in cubic meters (m^3). It is not considered a fundamental quantity like length, mass, or time, which are base units in the SI system.


Is voltage a derived quantity?

Whether any quantity is a base quantity or a derived quantity depends on the definitions used in the system of measurements. In the SI, it is a derived quantity, defined as energy per unit charge. In units: joules/coulomb, where both joules and coulombs are also derived units.
