The expressions below give current \(I\) through an electronic component as a function of applied potential \(V . I_0\) and \(V_0\) are constants having dimensions of current and potential respectively. Which of the following are dimensionally incorrect?
(A) \(I=I_0\left(e^{\frac{2 V}{V_0}}+1\right)\)
(B) \(I=I_0\left(e^{\frac{v}{2 V_0}}-1\right)\)
(C) \(I=I_0 V_0\left(e^{\frac{V}{V_0}}-1\right)\)
(D) \(I=I_0\left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right)\left(e^{\frac{V}{V_0}}-1\right)\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{B}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{D}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the principle of homogeneity, a physical equation will be dimensionally correct only if the dimensions of all the terms occuring on both side of the equation are the same. Hence, in option (c) \(I=I_0 V_0\left(e^{\frac{v}{V_0}}-1\right)\) Dimension of \(I \neq\)…
