The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given quantities has different dimensions from the others, we will analyze the dimensions of each option step by step. ### Given Quantities: 1. Energy Density 2. Force per Unit Area 3. Product of Charge per Unit Volume and Voltage 4. Angular Momentum per Unit Mass ### Step 1: Analyze Energy Density - **Definition**: Energy density is defined as energy per unit volume. - **Dimensions**: - Energy has dimensions: \([M L^2 T^{-2}]\) - Volume has dimensions: \([L^3]\) - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Energy Density} = \frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Volume}} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 2: Analyze Force per Unit Area - **Definition**: Force per unit area is also known as pressure. - **Dimensions**: - Force has dimensions: \([M L T^{-2}]\) - Area has dimensions: \([L^2]\) - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Force per Unit Area} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}} = \frac{[M L T^{-2}]}{[L^2]} = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 3: Analyze Product of Charge per Unit Volume and Voltage - **Definition**: This is the product of charge density and voltage. - **Dimensions**: - Charge per unit volume has dimensions: \([Q L^{-3}]\) - Voltage (potential difference) is defined as work done per unit charge: \([M L^2 T^{-2}]/[Q]\) - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Voltage} = \frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Charge}} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[Q]} \] Therefore, the product of charge per unit volume and voltage is: \[ \text{Product} = [Q L^{-3}] \cdot \left(\frac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[Q]}\right) = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \] ### Step 4: Analyze Angular Momentum per Unit Mass - **Definition**: Angular momentum per unit mass is defined as angular momentum divided by mass. - **Dimensions**: - Angular momentum has dimensions: \([M L^2 T^{-1}]\) - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Angular Momentum per Unit Mass} = \frac{\text{Angular Momentum}}{\text{Mass}} = \frac{[M L^2 T^{-1}]}{[M]} = [L^2 T^{-1}] \] ### Conclusion Now we can summarize the dimensions of all four quantities: 1. Energy Density: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) 2. Force per Unit Area: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) 3. Product of Charge per Unit Volume and Voltage: \([M L^{-1} T^{-2}]\) 4. Angular Momentum per Unit Mass: \([L^2 T^{-1}]\) **The quantity with different dimensions is Angular Momentum per Unit Mass, which has dimensions \([L^2 T^{-1}]\).**

To determine which of the given quantities has different dimensions from the others, we will analyze the dimensions of each option step by step. ### Given Quantities: 1. Energy Density 2. Force per Unit Area 3. Product of Charge per Unit Volume and Voltage 4. Angular Momentum per Unit Mass ...
