The correct Answer is:
To determine what physical quantity has the dimensional formula \([M^{1} L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-2}]\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Dimensional Formula The dimensional formula \([M^{1} L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-2}]\) indicates that the quantity has: - Mass (M) raised to the power of 1 - Length (L) raised to the power of 2 - Time (T) raised to the power of -3 - Electric current (A) raised to the power of -2 ### Step 2: Relate to Known Physical Quantities We need to identify a physical quantity that corresponds to this dimensional formula. A common approach is to consider electrical quantities since the formula includes the dimension of electric current (A). ### Step 3: Consider Electrical Resistance Recall the relationship from Ohm's Law: \[ V = I R \] Where: - \( V \) is voltage (electric potential) - \( I \) is current - \( R \) is resistance From this, we can express resistance \( R \) as: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \] ### Step 4: Find the Dimensions of Voltage and Current 1. **Voltage (V)**: Voltage can be expressed in terms of work done (W) and charge (Q): \[ V = \frac{W}{Q} \] The dimensional formula for work done (W) is: \[ W = F \cdot d = MLT^{-2} \cdot L = ML^2T^{-2} \] The dimensional formula for charge (Q) is: \[ Q = I \cdot T \] Thus, the dimensional formula for voltage becomes: \[ V = \frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{IT} = \frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{A \cdot T} = \frac{ML^2}{AT^2} \] 2. **Current (I)**: The dimensional formula for current is simply: \[ [I] = [A] \] ### Step 5: Substitute into the Resistance Formula Now substituting into the resistance formula: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{\frac{ML^2}{AT^2}}{A} = \frac{ML^2}{A^2T^2} \] ### Step 6: Rearranging the Dimensions We can rearrange this to find the dimensions of resistance: \[ R = [M^{1} L^{2} T^{-2} A^{-2}] \] ### Step 7: Identify the Correct Dimensional Formula However, we need to adjust for the time dimension: Since we are looking for \([M^{1} L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-2}]\), we can relate this to the dimensional formula for a physical quantity that involves energy per unit charge per unit time. ### Conclusion The dimensional formula \([M^{1} L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-2}]\) corresponds to the physical quantity of **Electrical Resistance**. ---
