The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula of the expression \(\frac{e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 m_p m_e^2 c^3 G}\), we will break down each component into its respective dimensional formula and then combine them according to the expression. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Dimensional Formulas**: - Charge \(e\): The dimensional formula for charge is given by \( [e] = [I][T^1] \) (where \(I\) is current and \(T\) is time). - Permittivity of free space \(\epsilon_0\): The dimensional formula is \( [\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 I^2] \). - Mass \(m_p\) and \(m_e\): The dimensional formula for mass is \( [M] \). - Velocity of light \(c\): The dimensional formula is \( [c] = [L T^{-1}] \). - Gravitational constant \(G\): The dimensional formula is \( [G] = [M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}] \). 2. **Substituting the Dimensional Formulas**: - The expression can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{[e]^4}{[\epsilon_0]^2 [m_p] [m_e]^2 [c]^3 [G]} \] 3. **Calculating Each Component**: - For \(e^4\): \[ [e^4] = [I^4][T^4] \] - For \(\epsilon_0^2\): \[ [\epsilon_0^2] = [M^{-2} L^{-6} T^8 I^4] \] - For \(m_p\) and \(m_e^2\): \[ [m_p] = [M], \quad [m_e^2] = [M^2] \] - For \(c^3\): \[ [c^3] = [L^3 T^{-3}] \] - For \(G\): \[ [G] = [M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}] \] 4. **Combining the Dimensional Formulas**: - Now substituting these into the expression: \[ \frac{[I^4][T^4]}{[M^{-2} L^{-6} T^8 I^4][M][M^2][L^3 T^{-3}][M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}]} \] 5. **Simplifying the Denominator**: - Combine the mass terms: \[ [M^{-2}][M][M^2][M^{-1}] = [M^{0}] = [1] \] - Combine the length terms: \[ [L^{-6}][L^3][L^3] = [L^{0}] = [1] \] - Combine the time terms: \[ [T^8][T^{-3}][T^{-2}] = [T^{3}] \] - The \(I\) terms: \[ [I^4] = [I^4] \] 6. **Final Expression**: - Therefore, the overall dimensional formula becomes: \[ \frac{[I^4][T^4]}{[1][1][T^3][I^4]} = [T^{4-3}] = [T^1] \] ### Conclusion: The dimensional formula of \(\frac{e^4}{\epsilon_0^2 m_p m_e^2 c^3 G}\) is \([T]\).
