If \(C\) be the capacitance and \(V\) be the electric potential, then the dimensional formula of \(\mathrm{CV}^2\) is

  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2} \mathrm{~A}^0\right]\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^{-2} \mathrm{~A}^0\right]\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-3} \mathrm{TA}\right]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2} \mathrm{~A}^0\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The energy \(U\) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula \(U = \dfrac{1}{2} CV^2\). Since \(U\) represents energy, its dimensional formula is the same as that of work or energy, which is \([ML^2T^{-2}]\). The factor \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) is a dimensionless constant and does not…
