The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given quantities has different dimensions from the others, we will analyze the dimensions of each quantity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Quantity A - Energy per Unit Volume - **Energy (E)** has the dimension: \[ [E] = [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \] - **Volume (V)** has the dimension: \[ [V] = [L^3] \] - Therefore, the dimension of energy per unit volume is: \[ \frac{[E]}{[V]} = \frac{[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 2: Analyze Quantity B - Force per Unit Area - **Force (F)** has the dimension: \[ [F] = [M^1 L^1 T^{-2}] \] - **Area (A)** has the dimension: \[ [A] = [L^2] \] - Therefore, the dimension of force per unit area is: \[ \frac{[F]}{[A]} = \frac{[M^1 L^1 T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 3: Analyze Quantity C - Product of Charge per Unit Volume and Voltage - **Charge (Q)** has the dimension: \[ [Q] = [Q] \] - **Voltage (V)** is defined as work per unit charge: \[ [V] = \frac{[E]}{[Q]} = \frac{[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]}{[Q]} \] - The dimension of charge per unit volume is: \[ \frac{[Q]}{[L^3]} \] - Therefore, the dimension of the product of charge per unit volume and voltage is: \[ \frac{[Q]}{[L^3]} \cdot \frac{[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]}{[Q]} = \frac{[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 4: Analyze Quantity D - Angular Momentum - **Angular Momentum (L)** is defined as: \[ L = R \cdot P \] where \( R \) is the radius (dimension \( [L] \)) and \( P \) is momentum (dimension \( [M^1 L^1 T^{-1}] \)). - Therefore, the dimension of angular momentum is: \[ [L] = [L] \cdot [M^1 L^1 T^{-1}] = [M^1 L^2 T^{-1}] \] ### Conclusion - The dimensions of the quantities are as follows: - Quantity A: \([M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) - Quantity B: \([M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) - Quantity C: \([M^1 L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) - Quantity D: \([M^1 L^2 T^{-1}]\) Thus, the quantity with different dimensions is **Quantity D (Angular Momentum)**.

To determine which of the given quantities has different dimensions from the others, we will analyze the dimensions of each quantity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Quantity A - Energy per Unit Volume - **Energy (E)** has the dimension: \[ [E] = [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \] - **Volume (V)** has the dimension: ...
