The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which physical quantity has neither dimensions nor units, we can analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Physical Quantities**: - Physical quantities can be classified based on whether they have dimensions and units. - A dimensionless quantity is one that does not depend on any physical dimensions (length, mass, time, etc.) and thus has no units. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Angle** - An angle (θ) is defined as the ratio of arc length (l) to radius (r): θ = l/r. - Since both l and r have dimensions of length, they cancel out, making θ dimensionless. - However, angles do have a unit (radian), so this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Luminous Intensity** - Luminous intensity is one of the seven fundamental quantities. - It has a dimension and its unit is candela (cd). - Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 3: Coefficient of Friction (μ)** - The coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the frictional force (F) to the normal force (N): μ = F/N. - Since both F and N are forces, they have the same dimension and cancel out, making μ dimensionless. - Additionally, the coefficient of friction does not have a unit, so this option is correct. - **Option 4: Current** - Electric current is a fundamental quantity with a dimension. - Its unit is ampere (A). Thus, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only physical quantity among the options that has neither dimensions nor units is the **coefficient of friction**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is the **coefficient of friction**.
