Question 1:

  • In the formula X = 5YZ2, X and Z have dimensions of capacitance and magnetic field, respectively. What are the dimensions of Y in SI units?

  • A)

    [ M 2 L 2 T 6 A 3 ] \left\lbrack M^{- 2}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{6}{\text{\ }A}^{3} \right\rbrack

    B)

    [ M 3 L 2 T 8 A 4 ] \left\lbrack M^{- 3}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{8}{\text{\ }A}^{4} \right\rbrack

    C)

    [ M 2 L 0 T 4 A 2 ] \left\lbrack M^{- 2}{\text{\ }L}^{0}{\text{\ }T}^{- 4}{\text{\ }A}^{- 2} \right\rbrack

    D)

    [ M 1 L 2 T 4 A 2 ] \left\lbrack M^{- 1}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{4}{\text{\ }A}^{2} \right\rbrack

    Answer:

    Solution:

    Given: X = 5 Y Z 2 X = 5YZ^{2} ,

    X X has Dimensional formula of capacitance ( C = ε 0 A d ) \left( C = \frac{\varepsilon_{0}\text{\ }A}{d} \right)

    [ X ] = [ M 1 L 2 T 4 A 2 ] \lbrack X\rbrack = \left\lbrack M^{- 1}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{4}{\text{\ }A}^{2} \right\rbrack\text{.~}

    Z Z has dimensional formula of magnetic field ( B = F I l ) \left( B = \frac{F}{I^{l}} \right)

    [ Z ] = [ M 1 T 2 A 1 ] \lbrack Z\rbrack = \left\lbrack M^{- 1}{\text{\ }T}^{- 2}{\text{\ }A}^{- 1} \right\rbrack\text{.~}

    To find: Dimensions of Y X 5 Z 2 . Y \propto \frac{X}{5Z^{2}}.

    Putting dimensions of X X and Y Y from (i) and (ii) in equation (iii),

    [ Y ] = [ M 1 L 2 T 4 A 2 ] [ M 1 T 2 A 1 ] 2 \lbrack Y\rbrack = \left\lbrack M^{- 1}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{4}{\text{\ }A}^{2} \right\rbrack\left\lbrack M^{1}{\text{\ }T}^{- 2}{\text{\ }A}^{- 1} \right\rbrack^{- 2}

    [ Y ] = M 3 L 2 T 8 A 4 \lbrack Y\rbrack = M^{- 3}{\text{\ }L}^{- 2}{\text{\ }T}^{8}{\text{\ }A}^{4}
