The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula for the physical quantity \((E^{2} \mu_{0} \epsilon_{0})/(B^{2})\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the known quantities We know: - \(E\) is the electric field. - \(B\) is the magnetic field. - \(\mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space. - \(\epsilon_{0}\) is the permittivity of free space. ### Step 2: Determine the dimensional formulas 1. **Electric Field \(E\)**: The electric field \(E\) has the dimensional formula: \[ [E] = \frac{[F]}{[q]} = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[I T]} = [M L T^{-3} I^{-1}] \] 2. **Magnetic Field \(B\)**: The magnetic field \(B\) has the dimensional formula: \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[q v]} = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[I T L]} = [M T^{-2} I^{-1}] \] 3. **Permeability of Free Space \(\mu_{0}\)**: The permeability \(\mu_{0}\) has the dimensional formula: \[ [\mu_{0}] = \frac{[F]}{[I^{2}]} = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[I^{2}]} = [M L T^{-2} I^{-2}] \] 4. **Permittivity of Free Space \(\epsilon_{0}\)**: The permittivity \(\epsilon_{0}\) has the dimensional formula: \[ [\epsilon_{0}] = \frac{[q^{2}]}{[F L]} = \frac{[I^{2} T^{2}]}{[M L T^{-2}]} = [M^{-1} L^{-1} T^{4} I^{2}] \] ### Step 3: Substitute the dimensional formulas into the expression Now we substitute these dimensional formulas into the expression \((E^{2} \mu_{0} \epsilon_{0})/(B^{2})\): \[ \frac{[E^{2} \mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}]}{[B^{2}]} = \frac{([M L T^{-3} I^{-1}])^{2} \cdot [M L T^{-2} I^{-2}] \cdot [M^{-1} L^{-1} T^{4} I^{2}]}{([M T^{-2} I^{-1}])^{2}} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Calculating the numerator: \[ [E^{2} \mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}] = [M^{2} L^{2} T^{-6} I^{-2}] \cdot [M L T^{-2} I^{-2}] \cdot [M^{-1} L^{-1} T^{4} I^{2}] \] Combining these: \[ = [M^{2} L^{2} T^{-6} I^{-2} \cdot M L T^{-2} I^{-2} \cdot M^{-1} L^{-1} T^{4} I^{2}] \] \[ = [M^{2 + 1 - 1} L^{2 + 1 - 1} T^{-6 - 2 + 4} I^{-2 - 2 + 2}] \] \[ = [M^{2} L^{2} T^{-4} I^{-2}] \] Calculating the denominator: \[ [B^{2}] = ([M T^{-2} I^{-1}])^{2} = [M^{2} T^{-4} I^{-2}] \] ### Step 5: Final simplification Now we can simplify: \[ \frac{[M^{2} L^{2} T^{-4} I^{-2}]}{[M^{2} T^{-4} I^{-2}]} = [L^{2}] \] ### Conclusion Thus, the dimensional formula for the physical quantity \((E^{2} \mu_{0} \epsilon_{0})/(B^{2})\) is: \[ [L^{2}] \]
