JEE MainPhysicsUnits and Dimensions
The dimensional formula of a physical quantity is given by [M L^2 T⁻² A⁻¹] . Which of the following combinations of SI units represents this quantity?
Options
- AVolt second
- BOhm second
- CVolt second ⁻¹
- DAmpere second
Correct answer
A. Volt second
Step-by-step solution
The dimensional formula for electric potential (Volt) can be found using the relation Potential = Work / Charge. [ Volt ] = [M L^2 T⁻²] [A T] = [M L^2 T⁻³ A⁻¹] Multiplying this by the dimension of time (second), which is [T] : [ Volt second ] = [M L^2 T⁻³ A⁻¹] [T] = [M L^2 T⁻² A⁻¹] This matches the given dimensional formula. Answer: Volt second
