The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Relative magnetic permeability has no units and no dimensions." - Relative magnetic permeability (µr) is defined as the ratio of the permeability of a medium (µ) to the permeability of free space (µ0). - Since it is a ratio of two quantities with the same dimensions (both are measures of permeability), the units cancel out. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason provided is "µr = µ / µ0", where µ is the permeability of the medium and µ0 is the permeability of free space. - This equation is indeed the definition of relative magnetic permeability. - Since both µ and µ0 have the same dimensional formula (which is [M^-1 L^-1 T^-2 A^2]), when we take the ratio µ / µ0, the dimensions cancel out, confirming that µr is dimensionless. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true. ### Final Answer - Assertion (A) is true: Relative magnetic permeability has no units and no dimensions. - Reason (R) is true: µr = µ / µ0, and it is the correct explanation for the assertion. Thus, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
