In a particular system of units, a physical quantity can be expressed in terms of the electric charge ee, electron mass me{m}_{e}. Planck's constant hh, and Coulomb's constant k=14πε0k = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}, where ε0{ε}_{0} is the permittivity of vacuum. In terms of these physical constants, the dimension of the magnetic field is [B]=[e]α[me]β[h]γ[k]δ\left[B\right] = {\left[e\right]}^{\alpha}{\left[{m}_{e}\right]}^{\beta}{\left[h\right]}^{\gamma}{\left[k\right]}^{\delta}. The value of α+β+γ+δ\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given here: [B]=[e]α[me]β[h]γ[k]δ\left[B\right] = {\left[e\right]}^{\alpha}{\left[{m}_{e}\right]}^{\beta}{\left[h\right]}^{\gamma}{\left[k\right]}^{\delta}

The dimensions of \left[e\right] = \left[Current \times time\right] = \left[IT\right] and \left[{m}_{e}\right] = \left[M\right],Planck′sconstant[h]=EnergyFrequency=[ML2T−2][T−1]=[ML2T−1], Planck's constant \left[h\right] = \dfrac{Energy}{Frequency} = \dfrac{\left[M{L}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right]}{\left[{T}^{- 1}\right]} = \left[M{L}^{2}{T}^{- 1}\right] and \left[k\right] = \dfrac{1}{\left[{ε}_{0}\right]} = {\left[{M}^{- 1}{L}^{- 3}{T}^{4}{I}^{2}\right]}^{- 1} = \left[M{L}^{3}{T}^{- 4}{I}^{- 2}\right]</p><p>Using Principle of homogeneity,</p><p>[M1T−2I−1]=[IT]α[M]β[ML2T−1]γ[ML3T−4I−2]δhomogeneity,</p><p>\left[{M}^{1}{T}^{- 2}{I}^{- 1}\right] = {\left[IT\right]}^{\alpha}{\left[M\right]}^{\beta}{\left[M{L}^{2}{T}^{- 1}\right]}^{\gamma}{\left[M{L}^{3}{T}^{- 4}{I}^{- 2}\right]}^{\delta}

Comparing both sides, we get

β+γ+δ=1...(i)</p><p>\beta + \gamma + \delta = 1 . . . \left(i\right)</p><p>2\gamma + 3\delta = 0 . . . \left(ii\right)</p><p></p><p>\alpha - \gamma - 4\delta = - 2 . . . \left(iii\right)

α−2δ=−1...(iv)\alpha - 2\delta = - 1 . . . \left(iv\right)

On solving above four equations, we get

α=3,β=−4,γ=3\alpha = 3, \beta = - 4, \gamma = 3 and δ=2\delta = 2

So, α+β+γ+δ=4\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta = 4
