The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the magnetic field \( B \) in terms of mass \( M \), length \( L \), time \( T \), and charge \( C \), we can start from the formula for the force \( F \) experienced by a charge \( Q \) moving with a velocity \( V \) in a magnetic field \( B \). The relationship is given by: \[ F = QVB \] ### Step 1: Write the dimensions of force The dimension of force \( F \) is given by: \[ [F] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] ### Step 2: Write the dimensions of charge The dimension of charge \( Q \) (in coulombs) is represented as: \[ [Q] = C^1 \] ### Step 3: Write the dimensions of velocity The dimension of velocity \( V \) is given by: \[ [V] = L^1 T^{-1} \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the formula to find the dimension of \( B \) From the equation \( F = QVB \), we can rearrange it to find the dimension of the magnetic field \( B \): \[ B = \frac{F}{QV} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the dimensions into the equation Substituting the dimensions we have: \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[Q][V]} = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{C^1 \cdot L^1 T^{-1}} \] ### Step 6: Simplifying the dimensions Now we can simplify the expression: \[ [B] = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{C^1 \cdot L^1 T^{-1}} = \frac{M^1}{C^1} \cdot \frac{L^1}{L^1} \cdot \frac{T^{-2}}{T^{-1}} = M^1 T^{-1} C^{-1} \] Thus, the dimension of the magnetic field \( B \) is: \[ [B] = M^1 T^{-1} C^{-1} \] ### Final Answer The dimension of the magnetic field \( B \) is \( [B] = M^1 T^{-1} C^{-1} \). ---
