JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

The dimensional formula of \(\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2\) (\(\epsilon_0\) = permittivity of vacuum and \(E\) = electric field) is \(M^a L^b T^c\). The value of \(2a - b + c = \) _______.

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B \(1\)
  3. C \(-1\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The quantity \(\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2\) represents the energy density of an electric field. Energy density is defined as energy per unit volume. Dimensional formula of energy is \([M L^2 T^{-2}]\). Dimensional formula of volume is \([L^3]\). Dimensional formula of energy…
