The amount of charge passing through a cross-section of a wire in time tt is given by Q(t)=At2+Bt+CQ(t) = At^2 + Bt + C. Determine the dimensional formulae for AA, BB, and CC.

Options

  1. AIT−1IT^{-1}, II, ITIT
  2. BIT−2IT^{-2}, IT−1IT^{-1}, II
  3. CII, ITIT, IT2IT^2
  4. DITIT, II, IT^{-1

Correct answer

A. IT−1IT^{-1}, II, ITIT

Step-by-step solution

According to the principle of homogeneity of dimensions, each term in the expression At2+Bt+CAt^2 + Bt + C must have the same dimensional formula as the charge QQ.

The dimensional formula of charge QQ is [IT][IT].

For the first term:
[At2]=[Q][At^2] = [Q]
[A][T2]=[IT][A][T^2] = [IT]
[A]=[IT−1][A] = [IT^{-1}]

For the second term:
[Bt]=[Q][Bt] = [Q]
[B][T]=[IT][B][T] = [IT]
[B]=[I][B] = [I]

For the third term:
[C]=[Q][C] = [Q]
[C]=[IT][C] = [IT]

Thus, the dimensional formulae for AA, BB, and CC are IT−1IT^{-1}, II, and ITIT respectively.
