The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula for the quantity \( X \) given by the expression \[ X = \frac{\epsilon_p \cdot L \cdot \Delta V}{\Delta t} \] we will break down each component in the expression and then combine them to find the overall dimensional formula for \( X \). ### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of each component 1. **Permittivity of free space (\( \epsilon_p \))**: The dimensional formula for the permittivity of free space is given as: \[ [\epsilon_p] = M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} A^{2} \] 2. **Length (\( L \))**: The dimensional formula for length is: \[ [L] = L^{1} \] 3. **Potential difference (\( \Delta V \))**: The dimensional formula for potential difference is: \[ [\Delta V] = M L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-1} \] 4. **Time interval (\( \Delta t \))**: The dimensional formula for time is: \[ [\Delta t] = T^{1} \] ### Step 2: Combine the dimensions Now, we substitute the dimensional formulas into the expression for \( X \): \[ [X] = \frac{[\epsilon_p] \cdot [L] \cdot [\Delta V]}{[\Delta t]} \] Substituting in the values we found: \[ [X] = \frac{(M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} A^{2}) \cdot (L^{1}) \cdot (M L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-1})}{T^{1}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Now we will combine the dimensions in the numerator and then divide by the dimensions in the denominator: 1. **Numerator**: \[ M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} A^{2} \cdot L^{1} \cdot M L^{2} T^{-3} A^{-1} = M^{0} L^{0} T^{1} A^{1} \] - For mass \( M \): \( -1 + 1 = 0 \) - For length \( L \): \( -3 + 1 + 2 = 0 \) - For time \( T \): \( 4 - 3 = 1 \) - For current \( A \): \( 2 - 1 = 1 \) 2. **Denominator**: \[ T^{1} \] Now we can combine: \[ [X] = \frac{M^{0} L^{0} T^{1} A^{1}}{T^{1}} = M^{0} L^{0} A^{1} = A^{1} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the dimensional formula for \( X \) is: \[ [X] = A^{1} \] This means that the quantity \( X \) has the same dimensional formula as that of electric current.
