hey all,
I know this probably isn't the best place to be asking this, but i figure this site is full of smart science students so why not give it a shot...

so i have a physics exam tomorrow and i know one of the questions is going to be what is the dimensions for thermal conductivity... anyone know?? i know the UNIT is W/m*k (watts per meter per kelvin) but that isn't the dimensions..... if anyone knows, i would really appreciate it. thankssssssssss!!!

You should try asking this in pre-dent. Dental students don't do much physics.

Agreed. Moving.

The words "units" and "dimensions" can be used interchangably. Your professor's asking for the units of thermal conductivity. The answer is within your question.
