Determine the dimensions of the magnetic field BB. The relevant equations are F=qEF = qE, F=qvBF = qvB, and B=μ0I2πaB = \dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi a}; where FF is force, qq is charge, vv is speed, II is current, and aa is distance.

Options

  1. AMLT−2I−1MLT^{-2} I^{-1}
  2. BMT−2I−1MT^{-2} I^{-1}
  3. CML2T−2I−1ML^2T^{-2} I^{-1}
  4. DMT−3I−1MT^{-3} I^{-1}

Correct answer

B. MT−2I−1MT^{-2} I^{-1}

Step-by-step solution

Using the formula for magnetic force F=qvBF = qvB, the magnetic field BB is given by B=FqvB = \dfrac{F}{qv}.

The dimensional formula for force FF is [MLT−2][MLT^{-2}].

The dimensional formula for charge qq is [IT][IT].

The dimensional formula for velocity vv is [LT−1][LT^{-1}].

Substituting these dimensions into the expression for BB, we get:

[B]=[MLT−2][IT][LT−1][B] = \dfrac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[IT][LT^{-1}]}

[B]=[MLT−2][IL][B] = \dfrac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[IL]}

[B]=[MT−2I−1][B] = [MT^{-2}I^{-1}]
