AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Units and Dimensions

Assertion (A) Energy per unit volume and angular momentum can be added dimensionally.
Reason (R) Physical quantities having same dimensions can be added or subtracted.

  1. A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  3. C (A) is true but (R) is false
  4. D (A) is false but (R) is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (A) is false but (R) is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The units of energy per unit volume is \(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{m}^3\) or \(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}-\mathrm{s}^2\) and that for angular momentum is \(\mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{m}^2 / \mathrm{s}\). Since, they are not dimensionally equal, they cannot be added, so the Assertion (A) is…
