The dimensions of the displacement current _0 (d _E)/(dt) are...
The dimensions of the displacement current are identical to those of:
Options
- Aan electric current
- Ban electric charge
- Can electric potential
- Dan electric flux
Correct answer
A. an electric current
Step-by-step solution
The displacement current is given by the expression .
By definition, displacement current is a type of current, so its dimensions must be identical to those of an electric current.
We can also verify this dimensionally:
Electric flux
Permittivity of free space
Dimensions of
Dimensions of
Thus, the dimensions are identical to those of an electric current.
