If μ_0 , e and h represent the permeability of free space,...

If μ0\mu_0, ee and hh represent the permeability of free space, elementary charge and Planck's constant respectively, then the dimensional formula of μ0e2h\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h} is :

Options

  1. A[LT−1][\text{L}\text{T}^{-1}]
  2. B[L−1T−1][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}^{-1}]
  3. C[L−1T][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}]
  4. D[LT][\text{L}\text{T}]

Correct answer

C. [L−1T][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}]

Step-by-step solution

First, write the dimensional formulas for each physical quantity:

Permeability of free space (μ0\mu_0): From the force per unit length between parallel currents FL=μ0I1I22πr\dfrac{F}{L} = \dfrac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}, we get [μ0]=[MLT−2][L][L][A2]=[MLT−2A−2][\mu_0] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}\text{T}^{-2}][\text{L}]}{[\text{L}][\text{A}^2]} = [\text{M}\text{L}\text{T}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2}]

Elementary charge (ee): From q=Itq = It, [e]=[AT][e] = [\text{A}\text{T}]

Planck's constant (hh): From E=hνE = h\nu, [h]=[ML2T−2][T−1]=[ML2T−1][h] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-2}]}{[\text{T}^{-1}]} = [\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-1}]

Now, substitute these into the given expression μ0e2h\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h}:

\left[\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h}\right] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}\text{T}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2}] \times [\text{A}\text{T}]^2}{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-1}]}<br><br>[μ0e2h]=[MLT−2A−2]×[A2T2][ML2T−1]<br><br>\left[\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h}\right] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}\text{T}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2}] \times [\text{A}^2\text{T}^2]}{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-1}]}

\left[\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h}\right] = \dfrac{[\text{M}\text{L}]}{[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-1}]}<br><br>[μ0e2h]=[L−1T]<br><br>\left[\dfrac{\mu_0 e^2}{h}\right] = [\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}]

Answer: [L−1T][\text{L}^{-1}\text{T}]
