The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula of the quantity \( X \) given by the expression
\[
X = \frac{\epsilon_0 L \Delta V}{\Delta t}
\]
we will analyze each component of the expression step by step.
### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of each component
1. **Permittivity of free space (\( \epsilon_0 \))**:
The dimensional formula for permittivity of free space is given by:
\[
[\epsilon_0] = \frac{[M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]}{[L^2]} = [M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2]
\]
2. **Length (\( L \))**:
The dimensional formula for length is:
\[
[L] = [L]
\]
3. **Potential difference (\( \Delta V \))**:
The potential difference can be expressed in terms of electric field and distance. The dimensional formula for voltage (or potential difference) is:
\[
[\Delta V] = [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-1}]
\]
4. **Time interval (\( \Delta t \))**:
The dimensional formula for time is:
\[
[\Delta t] = [T]
\]
### Step 2: Combine the dimensions
Now, we can substitute these dimensional formulas into the expression for \( X \):
\[
X = \frac{[\epsilon_0] \cdot [L] \cdot [\Delta V]}{[\Delta t]}
\]
Substituting the dimensions we found:
\[
X = \frac{[M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2] \cdot [L] \cdot [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-1}]}{[T]}
\]
### Step 3: Simplify the expression
Now, we simplify the expression step by step:
1. Multiply the dimensions in the numerator:
\[
[M^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2] \cdot [L] \cdot [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-1}] = [M^{-1} L^{-3+1+2} T^{4-3} A^{2-1}]
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
[M^{0} L^{0} T^{1} A^{1}] = [T A]
\]
2. Now, divide by the dimension of time:
\[
X = \frac{[T A]}{[T]} = [A]
\]
### Conclusion
Thus, the dimensional formula for \( X \) is:
\[
X = [A]
\]
This indicates that the dimensional formula of \( X \) is the same as that of current.
### Final Answer
The dimensional formula of \( X \) is the same as that of **current**.
