The correct Answer is:
To determine which set of physical quantities is dimensionally different, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Option: Terminal Velocity, Drift Velocity, and Critical Velocity** - All three quantities are types of velocity. - The dimension of velocity is given by: \[ [\text{Velocity}] = [L T^{-1}] \] - Since all three quantities are velocities, they share the same dimension. Thus, this option is not dimensionally different. 2. **Analyze the Second Option: Potential Energy, Work Done, and Kinetic Energy** - Potential Energy (U) is defined as: \[ U = mgh \quad \text{(where } m \text{ is mass, } g \text{ is acceleration due to gravity, and } h \text{ is height)} \] - The dimension of Potential Energy is: \[ [U] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \] - Work Done (W) is defined as: \[ W = \text{Force} \times \text{Displacement} \] - The dimension of Work Done is also: \[ [W] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \] - Kinetic Energy (KE) is defined as: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - The dimension of Kinetic Energy is: \[ [KE] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] \] - All three quantities have the same dimension, so this option is also not dimensionally different. 3. **Analyze the Third Option: Disintegration Constant, Frequency, and Angular Velocity** - Disintegration Constant (λ) has the dimension of: \[ [\lambda] = [T^{-1}] \] - Frequency (ν) is defined as: \[ \nu = \frac{1}{T} \quad \Rightarrow \quad [\nu] = [T^{-1}] \] - Angular Velocity (ω) is defined as: \[ \omega = \frac{\theta}{T} \quad \Rightarrow \quad [\omega] = [T^{-1}] \] - All three quantities have the same dimension, so this option is also not dimensionally different. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Option: Dipole Moment, Electric Flux, and Electric Field** - Dipole Moment (p) is defined as: \[ p = q \cdot d \quad \text{(where } q \text{ is charge and } d \text{ is distance)} \] - The dimension of charge (q) is: \[ [q] = [I T] \quad \text{(where I is current)} \] - The dimension of distance (d) is: \[ [d] = [L] \] - Thus, the dimension of Dipole Moment is: \[ [p] = [I T] \cdot [L] = [I L T] \] - Electric Flux (Φ) is defined as: \[ \Phi = E \cdot A \quad \text{(where E is electric field and A is area)} \] - The dimension of Electric Field (E) is: \[ [E] = [F/A] = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] - The dimension of area (A) is: \[ [A] = [L^2] \] - Thus, the dimension of Electric Flux is: \[ [\Phi] = [E] \cdot [A] = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \cdot [L^2] = [M L T^{-2}] \] - Electric Field (E) has already been calculated as: \[ [E] = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] - Therefore, we have: - Dipole Moment: \([I L T]\) - Electric Flux: \([M L T^{-2}]\) - Electric Field: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) - Since the dimensions of these three quantities are different, this option is dimensionally different. ### Conclusion: The set of physical quantities that is dimensionally different is the **fourth option: Dipole Moment, Electric Flux, and Electric Field**.
