The electric potential in a region of space is given by V(x,y,z)=A(xy+yz+zx)V(x, y, z) = A(xy + yz + zx). Determine the dimensional formula of AA.

Options

  1. A[ML2T−3I−1][M L^2 T^{-3} I^{-1}]
  2. B[MT−2I−1][M T^{-2} I^{-1}]
  3. C[MT−3I−1][M T^{-3} I^{-1}]
  4. D[MLT−3I−1][M L T^{-3} I^{-1}]

Correct answer

C. [MT−3I−1][M T^{-3} I^{-1}]

Step-by-step solution

Electric potential is defined as work done per unit charge, V=WqV = \dfrac{W}{q}.

The dimensional formula of work WW is [ML2T−2][M L^2 T^{-2}] and that of charge qq is [IT][I T].

The dimensional formula of electric potential VV is [ML2T−2][IT]=[ML2T−3I−1]\dfrac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[I T]} = [M L^2 T^{-3} I^{-1}].

Given the relation V(x,y,z)=A(xy+yz+zx)V(x, y, z) = A(xy + yz + zx), the term (xy+yz+zx)(xy + yz + zx) represents the product of two lengths, so its dimensional formula is [L2][L^2].

Using the principle of dimensional homogeneity, the dimensional formula of AA is:

[A]=[V][L2]=[ML2T−3I−1][L2]=[MT−3I−1][A] = \dfrac{[V]}{[L^2]} = \dfrac{[M L^2 T^{-3} I^{-1}]}{[L^2]} = [M T^{-3} I^{-1}]
