The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the electric field (E), magnetic field (B), and magnetic permeability (μ₀), we will use the relevant equations provided. ### Step 1: Find the dimensions of the electric field (E) 1. Start with the equation for force: \[ F = qE \] Rearranging gives: \[ E = \frac{F}{q} \] 2. We know the dimensions of force (F) are: \[ [F] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] 3. The charge (q) can be expressed in terms of current (I) and time (T): \[ q = I \cdot T \] Therefore, the dimensions of charge are: \[ [q] = A^1 T^1 \] 4. Substitute the dimensions of F and q into the equation for E: \[ [E] = \frac{[F]}{[q]} = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{A^1 T^1} \] 5. Simplifying this gives: \[ [E] = M^1 L^1 T^{-3} A^{-1} \] ### Step 2: Find the dimensions of the magnetic field (B) 1. Start with the equation: \[ F = qvB \] Rearranging gives: \[ B = \frac{F}{qv} \] 2. We already have the dimensions for F and q. The velocity (v) can be expressed as distance over time: \[ v = \frac{L}{T} \] Therefore, the dimensions of velocity are: \[ [v] = L^1 T^{-1} \] 3. Substitute the dimensions into the equation for B: \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[q][v]} = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{(A^1 T^1)(L^1 T^{-1})} \] 4. Simplifying this gives: \[ [B] = M^1 L^0 T^{-2} A^{-1} \] ### Step 3: Find the dimensions of magnetic permeability (μ₀) 1. Use the equation: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi \alpha} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \mu_0 = \frac{B \cdot 2 \pi \alpha}{I} \] 2. The dimensions of α (distance) are: \[ [\alpha] = L^1 \] 3. Substitute the dimensions into the equation for μ₀: \[ [\mu_0] = \frac{[B] \cdot [\alpha]}{[I]} = \frac{(M^1 L^0 T^{-2} A^{-1})(L^1)}{A^1} \] 4. Simplifying this gives: \[ [\mu_0] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} A^{-2} \] ### Final Results - Dimensions of electric field (E): \( M^1 L^1 T^{-3} A^{-1} \) - Dimensions of magnetic field (B): \( M^1 L^0 T^{-2} A^{-1} \) - Dimensions of magnetic permeability (μ₀): \( M^1 L^1 T^{-2} A^{-2} \)

To find the dimensions of the electric field (E), magnetic field (B), and magnetic permeability (μ₀), we will use the relevant equations provided. ### Step 1: Find the dimensions of the electric field (E) 1. Start with the equation for force: \[ F = qE \] ...

A velocity filter uses the properties of electric and magnetic field to select particles that are moving with a specifice velocity. Charged particles with varying speeds are directed into the filter as shown. The filter consistt of an electric field E and a magnetic field B, each of constant magnitude, directed perpendicular to each other as shown, The charge particles will experience a force due to electric field given by F = qE.
