In a new system of units, the units of mass, length, time and current are kg, m, s and A, respectively. If and are the permeability and permittivity of free space, respectively, then in this new system of units, the magnitude of one SI unit of , is:
Correct answer
25
Step-by-step solution
The dimensional formula for permeability of free space is .
The dimensional formula for permittivity of free space is .
The dimensional formula for is:
\left( \dfrac{[M L T^{-2} A^{-2}]}{[M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]} \right)^{1/2} = \left( [M^2 L^4 T^{-6} A^{-4}] \right)^{1/2} = [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-2}]1nn_1 u_1 = n_2 u_21 \times [M_1 L_1^2 T_1^{-3} A_1^{-2}] = n \times [M_2 L_2^2 T_2^{-3} A_2^{-2}]M_2 = 5L_2 = 5T_2 = 5A_2 = 5M_1 = 1L_1 = 1T_1 = 1A_1 = 1n = \left( \dfrac{M_1}{M_2} \right) \left( \dfrac{L_1}{L_2} \right)^2 \left( \dfrac{T_1}{T_2} \right)^{-3} \left( \dfrac{A_1}{A_2} \right)^{-2}n = \left( \dfrac{1}{5} \right) \left( \dfrac{1}{5} \right)^2 \left( \dfrac{1}{5} \right)^{-3} \left( \dfrac{1}{5} \right)^{-2}n = 5^{-1} \times 5^{-2} \times 5^3 \times 5^2n = 5^{-1 - 2 + 3 + 2} = 5^2 = 252525
The dimensional formula for permittivity of free space is .
The dimensional formula for is:
