JEE Main 2022 · 28 July · Morning Shift · Physics · Units and Dimensions

The dimensions of ( B ^ 2 μ _ 0 ) will be (if μ _ 0 : permeability...

The dimensions of (B2μ0)\left(\dfrac{{B}^{2}}{{\mu}_{0}}\right) will be

(if μ0{\mu}_{0}: permeability of free space and B:B:magnetic field)

Options

  1. A[ML2T−2]\left[{ML}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right]
  2. B[MLT−2]\left[{MLT}^{- 2}\right]
  3. C[ML−1T−2]\left[{ML}^{- 1}{T}^{- 2}\right]
  4. D[MLL−2A−1]\left[{MLL}^{- 2}{A}^{- 1}\right]

Correct answer

C. [ML−1T−2]\left[{ML}^{- 1}{T}^{- 2}\right]

Step-by-step solution

Energy density in magnetic field is given by u=B22μ0u = \dfrac{{B}^{2}}{2{\mu}_{0}}. Therefore, dimensions of B2μ0\dfrac{{B}^{2}}{{\mu}_{0}} will be equal to the dimensions of energy per unit volume.

\left[\dfrac{{B}^{2}}{{\mu}_{0}}\right] = \left[u\right] = \dfrac{\left[{ML}^{2}{T}^{- 2}\right]}{\left[{L}^{3}\right]} = \left[{ML}^{- 1}{T}^{- 2}\right]
