\(L\), \(C\) and \(R\) represents physical quantities inductance, capacitance and resistance respectively. The dimensional formula \(ML^2 T^{-4} A^{-2}\) corresponds to __________.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Dimensional formula of inductance \(L\) is obtained from \(E = \dfrac{1}{2}LI^2\):
\([L] = \dfrac{[E]}{[I]^2} = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-2}}{A^2} = ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}\)
Dimensional formula of capacitance \(C\) is obtained from \(E = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{Q^2}{C}\):
\([C] = \dfrac{[Q]^2}{[E]} = \dfrac{A^2T^2}{ML^2T^{-2}} = M^{-1}L^{-2}T^4A^2\)
Dimensional formula of resistance \(R\) is obtained from \(P = I^2R\):
\([R] = \dfrac{[P]}{[I]^2} = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-3}}{A^2} = ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}\)
The dimensional formula of \(\sqrt{LC}\) is:
\([\sqrt{LC}] = \sqrt{(ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2})(M^{-1}L^{-2}T^4A^2)} = \sqrt{T^2} = T\)
Evaluating the dimensional formula of \(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\):
\(\left[\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\right] = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}}{T} = ML^2T^{-4}A^{-2}\)
This matches the given dimensional formula.
Answer: \(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\)
\([L] = \dfrac{[E]}{[I]^2} = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-2}}{A^2} = ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}\)
Dimensional formula of capacitance \(C\) is obtained from \(E = \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{Q^2}{C}\):
\([C] = \dfrac{[Q]^2}{[E]} = \dfrac{A^2T^2}{ML^2T^{-2}} = M^{-1}L^{-2}T^4A^2\)
Dimensional formula of resistance \(R\) is obtained from \(P = I^2R\):
\([R] = \dfrac{[P]}{[I]^2} = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-3}}{A^2} = ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}\)
The dimensional formula of \(\sqrt{LC}\) is:
\([\sqrt{LC}] = \sqrt{(ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2})(M^{-1}L^{-2}T^4A^2)} = \sqrt{T^2} = T\)
Evaluating the dimensional formula of \(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\):
\(\left[\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\right] = \dfrac{ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}}{T} = ML^2T^{-4}A^{-2}\)
This matches the given dimensional formula.
Answer: \(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\)
