In a new system of units, the units of mass, length, time and current are 55 kg, 55 m, 55 s and 55 A, respectively. If μ0\mu_0 and ϵ0\epsilon_0 are the permeability and permittivity of free space, respectively, then in this new system of units, the magnitude of one SI unit of μ0/ϵ0\sqrt{\mu_0/\epsilon_0}, is:

Correct answer

25

Step-by-step solution

The dimensional formula for permeability of free space μ0\mu_0 is [MLT−2A−2][M L T^{-2} A^{-2}].

The dimensional formula for permittivity of free space ϵ0\epsilon_0 is [M−1L−3T4A2][M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2].

The dimensional formula for μ0ϵ0\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} 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}]<br><br>Letthemagnitudeof<br><br>Let the magnitude of1SIunitinthenewsystembeSI unit in the new system ben.Usingtheprincipleofdimensionalhomogeneity:<br>.
