The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining which of the given expressions can denote a new physical quantity when A and B have different dimensions, we will analyze each option step-by-step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem:** - We have two physical quantities, A and B, which have different dimensions. We need to check which of the given options can represent a new physical quantity. 2. **Option 1: A + (A³ / B)** - For addition (A + B) to be valid, both terms must have the same dimensions. - The dimension of A is [A], and the dimension of (A³ / B) is [A³] / [B]. - Since A and B have different dimensions, [A] ≠ [B], thus [A] ≠ [A³ / B]. - Therefore, this expression does not yield a new dimension. 3. **Option 2: e^(-A/B)** - The expression involves an exponential function. - The exponent of any number must be dimensionless. - The dimension of (-A/B) is [A] / [B], which is not dimensionless since A and B have different dimensions. - Hence, this expression does not yield a new dimension. 4. **Option 3: AB²** - The dimension of this expression can be calculated as follows: - Dimension of A = [A] - Dimension of B = [B] - Therefore, the dimension of AB² = [A] * [B]² = [A][B²]. - This is a new dimension that can be derived from A and B. 5. **Option 4: A / B⁴** - The dimension of this expression can be calculated as follows: - Dimension of A = [A] - Dimension of B = [B] - Therefore, the dimension of A / B⁴ = [A] / [B]⁴ = [A][B]⁻⁴. - This also represents a new dimension derived from A and B. ### Conclusion: - The expressions that can denote a new physical quantity are: - Option 3: AB² - Option 4: A / B⁴
