The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the magnetic field \( B \) using the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge, we start with the equation: \[ F = q(v \times B) \] Where: - \( F \) is the magnetic force, - \( q \) is the electric charge, - \( v \) is the velocity of the charge, - \( B \) is the magnetic field. ### Step 1: Identify the dimensional formulas of the quantities involved 1. **Force \( F \)**: The dimensional formula of force is given by: \[ [F] = M^1 L^1 T^{-2} \] 2. **Charge \( q \)**: The dimensional formula of electric charge is: \[ [q] = A^1 T^1 \] 3. **Velocity \( v \)**: The dimensional formula of velocity is: \[ [v] = L^1 T^{-1} \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation to solve for \( B \) From the equation \( F = q(v \times B) \), we can rearrange it to find \( B \): \[ B = \frac{F}{qv} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the dimensional formulas into the equation Now, substituting the dimensional formulas we found into the equation for \( B \): \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[q][v]} = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{(A^1 T^1)(L^1 T^{-1})} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Now we simplify the right-hand side: \[ [B] = \frac{M^1 L^1 T^{-2}}{A^1 L^1 T^1} \] Canceling \( L^1 \) from the numerator and denominator: \[ [B] = \frac{M^1 T^{-2}}{A^1 T^1} \] Now, simplifying further: \[ [B] = M^1 T^{-2 - 1} A^{-1} = M^1 T^{-3} A^{-1} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the dimensional formula of the magnetic field \( B \) is: \[ [B] = M^1 T^{-3} A^{-1} \] ---
