The correct Answer is:
To determine the dimensionally correct equations involving potential difference \( V \), electric current \( I \), permittivity \( \epsilon_0 \), permeability \( \mu_0 \), and speed of light \( c \), we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the relationships We know from electromagnetic theory that: 1. The speed of light \( c \) is given by the equation: \[ c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \] 2. The resistance \( R \) can be expressed as: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \] ### Step 2: Analyze each option #### Option A: \( \mu_0 I^2 = \epsilon_0 V^2 \) Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{V^2}{I^2} \] Substituting \( R = \frac{V}{I} \) gives: \[ \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0} = R^2 \] Since \( R \) has dimensions of \( \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} \), this equation is dimensionally correct. #### Option B: \( \mu_0 I = \mu_0 B \) This option seems to have a typographical error, as it should involve \( \epsilon_0 \) instead of \( \mu_0 \). Therefore, we will consider it incorrect. #### Option C: \( I = \epsilon_0 c V \) Using \( c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \), we can rewrite: \[ I = \epsilon_0 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \cdot V \] This simplifies to: \[ I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{\mu_0/\epsilon_0}} \] This is dimensionally correct since it relates current to voltage and the constants. #### Option D: \( \mu_0 c I = \epsilon_0 V \) Rearranging gives: \[ \mu_0 c = \frac{\epsilon_0 V}{I} \] Substituting \( c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \) gives: \[ \mu_0 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} = \frac{\epsilon_0 V}{I} \] This leads to: \[ \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} = \frac{\epsilon_0 V}{I} \] This is not dimensionally consistent, thus it is incorrect. ### Conclusion The dimensionally correct equations are: - Option A: \( \mu_0 I^2 = \epsilon_0 V^2 \) - Option C: \( I = \epsilon_0 c V \)
