Concepts Of Physics MCQ Edition [Volume 1]PhysicsIntroduction to Physics
Determine the dimensions of the electric field E . The relevant equations are F = qE , F = qvB , and B = ₀ I 2 a ; where F is force, q is charge, v is speed, I is current, and a is distance.
Options
- AMLT⁻² I⁻¹
- BMT⁻³ I⁻¹
- CMLT⁻³ I⁻¹
- DML^2T⁻³ I⁻¹
Correct answer
C. MLT⁻³ I⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
From the relation F = qE , the electric field E is given by E = F q . The dimensional formula for force F is MLT⁻² . The dimensional formula for charge q is IT . Substituting these dimensions, we get: [E] = MLT⁻² IT = MLT⁻³I⁻¹
