The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the dimensions of the three quantities given: \( x = \frac{E}{B} \), \( y = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \), and \( z = \frac{l}{CR} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the dimensions of \( x = \frac{E}{B} \)**: - \( E \) is the electric field, which has the dimension of \( \text{MLT}^{-3}\text{T}^2 = \text{ML}^2\text{T}^{-3} \) (derived from \( F = qE \)). - \( B \) is the magnetic field, which has the dimension of \( \text{MLT}^{-2}\text{T}^{-1} = \text{ML}^2\text{T}^{-2} \) (derived from \( F = qvB \)). - Therefore, the dimension of \( x \) is: \[ [x] = \frac{[E]}{[B]} = \frac{\text{ML}^2\text{T}^{-3}}{\text{ML}^2\text{T}^{-2}} = \text{T}^{-1} = \text{LT}^{-1} \] 2. **Determine the dimensions of \( y = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \)**: - The permeability \( \mu_0 \) has dimensions of \( \text{MLT}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2} \). - The permittivity \( \epsilon_0 \) has dimensions of \( \text{ML}^{-3}\text{T}^4\text{A}^2 \). - Therefore, the dimension of \( \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \) is: \[ [\mu_0 \epsilon_0] = [\mu_0][\epsilon_0] = (\text{MLT}^{-2}\text{A}^{-2})(\text{ML}^{-3}\text{T}^4\text{A}^2) = \text{M}^2\text{L}^{-2}\text{T}^2 \] - Thus, the dimension of \( y \) is: \[ [y] = \sqrt{\frac{1}{[\mu_0 \epsilon_0]}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{\text{M}^2\text{L}^{-2}\text{T}^2}} = \text{LT}^{-1} \] 3. **Determine the dimensions of \( z = \frac{l}{CR} \)**: - The length \( l \) has the dimension of \( L \). - The capacitance \( C \) has the dimension of \( \frac{\text{A}^2\text{T}^4}{\text{ML}} \). - The resistance \( R \) has the dimension of \( \frac{\text{ML}^2}{\text{A}^2\text{T}^3} \). - Therefore, the dimension of \( CR \) is: \[ [CR] = [C][R] = \left(\frac{\text{A}^2\text{T}^4}{\text{ML}}\right)\left(\frac{\text{ML}^2}{\text{A}^2\text{T}^3}\right) = \text{LT} \] - Thus, the dimension of \( z \) is: \[ [z] = \frac{[l]}{[CR]} = \frac{L}{\text{LT}} = \text{T}^{-1} = \text{LT}^{-1} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - We find that all three quantities \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) have the same dimensions: \[ [x] = [y] = [z] = \text{LT}^{-1} \] ### Final Answer: - The correct options are: **A**, **B**, and **C** (all pairs have the same dimensions).
