Identify the pair(s) of physical quantities that possess identical dimensions.
Options
- AMagnetizing field intensity and intensity of magnetization
- BMagnetic field and intensity of magnetization
- CLongitudinal strain and magnetic susceptibility
- DMagnetic field and magnetizing field intensity
Correct answer
C. Longitudinal strain and magnetic susceptibility
Step-by-step solution
Magnetizing field intensity and intensity of magnetization both have dimensions .
Longitudinal strain is the ratio of change in length to original length, making it a dimensionless quantity .
Magnetic susceptibility is defined as the ratio of intensity of magnetization to magnetizing field intensity (). Since both and have the same dimensions, is also dimensionless .
Magnetic field has dimensions , which differs from and .
Therefore, the pairs of physical quantities that possess identical dimensions are magnetizing field intensity and intensity of magnetization, as well as longitudinal strain and magnetic susceptibility.
