The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of \( \epsilon_0 \mu_0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between \( c \), \( \epsilon_0 \), and \( \mu_0 \) We know from electromagnetic theory that the speed of light \( c \) is given by the equation: \[ c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}} \] ### Step 2: Square both sides of the equation To eliminate the square root, we square both sides: \[ c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0} \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \mu_0 \epsilon_0 = \frac{1}{c^2} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the dimensions of \( c \) The speed of light \( c \) has dimensions of length per time, which can be represented as: \[ [c] = L T^{-1} \] Squaring this gives: \[ [c^2] = L^2 T^{-2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back into the equation Now substituting \( c^2 \) into our rearranged equation: \[ \mu_0 \epsilon_0 = \frac{1}{L^2 T^{-2}} = L^{-2} T^{2} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, the dimensions of \( \epsilon_0 \mu_0 \) are: \[ [\epsilon_0 \mu_0] = L^{-2} T^{2} \] ### Final Answer The dimensions of \( \epsilon_0 \mu_0 \) are \( L^{-2} T^{2} \). ---
