The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula for the expression \(\frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0 G m_p^2}\), we will analyze the dimensions of each component in the expression. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of each component 1. **Charge (e)**: The dimensional formula for electric charge is given by: \[ [e] = [M^{0} L^{1} T^{-1} I^{1}] \] where \(M\) is mass, \(L\) is length, \(T\) is time, and \(I\) is electric current. 2. **Permittivity of free space (\(\epsilon_0\))**: The dimensional formula for permittivity is: \[ [\epsilon_0] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} I^{2}] \] 3. **Universal gravitational constant (G)**: The dimensional formula for \(G\) is: \[ [G] = [M^{-1} L^{3} T^{-2}] \] 4. **Mass of proton (\(m_p\))**: The dimensional formula for mass is: \[ [m_p] = [M^{1}] \] ### Step 2: Substitute the dimensions into the expression Now we substitute these dimensions into the expression \(\frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0 G m_p^2}\): \[ [e^2] = [M^{0} L^{1} T^{-1} I^{1}]^2 = [M^{0} L^{2} T^{-2} I^{2}] \] Now, substituting the dimensions into the expression: \[ \frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0 G m_p^2} = \frac{[M^{0} L^{2} T^{-2} I^{2}]}{[M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} I^{2}] \cdot [M^{-1} L^{3} T^{-2}] \cdot [M^{2}]} \] ### Step 3: Combine the dimensions in the denominator The denominator becomes: \[ [\epsilon_0 G m_p^2] = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} I^{2}] \cdot [M^{-1} L^{3} T^{-2}] \cdot [M^{2}] \] Calculating the dimensions step-by-step: 1. \(M^{-1} \cdot M^{-1} \cdot M^{2} = M^{0}\) 2. \(L^{-3} \cdot L^{3} = L^{0}\) 3. \(T^{4} \cdot T^{-2} = T^{2}\) 4. \(I^{2} = I^{2}\) So, the overall dimensional formula for the denominator is: \[ [M^{0} L^{0} T^{2} I^{2}] \] ### Step 4: Final calculation Now we can write the overall dimensional formula: \[ \frac{[M^{0} L^{2} T^{-2} I^{2}]}{[M^{0} L^{0} T^{2} I^{2}]} = [M^{0} L^{2} T^{-2} I^{2}] \cdot [M^{0} L^{0} T^{-2} I^{-2}] = [M^{0} L^{2} T^{-4} I^{0}] \] Thus, the dimensional formula for \(\frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0 G m_p^2}\) is: \[ [L^{2} T^{-4}] \] ### Conclusion The final answer is: \[ \text{Dimensional formula: } [L^{2} T^{-4}] \]
