Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^0 \mathrm{~T}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The dimension of resistance \(R\) is given by \(R = \dfrac{V}{I}\). Since \(V = \dfrac{W}{q}\), we have \(R = \dfrac{W}{Iq} = \dfrac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[A][AT]} = [ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}]\). The dimension of capacitance \(C\) is given by \(C = \dfrac{q}{V}\). Since \(V = \dfrac{W}{q}\), we…
