A physical quantity depends upon five factors , all of which have dimensions, then method of dimensional analysis

A

Can be applied

B

Cannot be applied

C

Depends upon factors involved

D

Both (a) and ( c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If a quantity depends upon more than three factors, each having dimensions , then the method of dimensional analysis cannot be applied. It is because applying the principle of homogenity will give only three equations.
