The correct Answer is:
To find the dimension of \( \frac{1}{RC} \), where \( C \) is capacitance and \( R \) is electrical resistance, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the dimensions of capacitance (C) and resistance (R) 1. **Capacitance (C)**: The dimension of capacitance can be derived from its formula: \[ C = \frac{Q}{V} \] where \( Q \) is charge and \( V \) is voltage. The dimension of charge \( Q \) is \( [I][T] \) (current times time), and the dimension of voltage \( V \) is \( [M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-1}] \) (derived from \( V = \frac{W}{Q} \), where \( W \) is work done). Therefore, the dimension of capacitance is: \[ [C] = \frac{[I][T]}{[M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-1}]} = [M^{-1}][L^{-2}][T^4][I^2] \] 2. **Resistance (R)**: The dimension of resistance can be derived from Ohm's law: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} \] Using the dimensions of voltage and current, we have: \[ [R] = \frac{[M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-1}]}{[I]} = [M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-2}] \] ### Step 2: Find the dimension of the product \( RC \) Now, we can find the dimension of the product \( RC \): \[ [RC] = [R] \cdot [C] = ([M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-2}]) \cdot ([M^{-1}][L^{-2}][T^4][I^2]) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the dimensions When we multiply these dimensions together: \[ [RC] = [M][L^2][T^{-3}][I^{-2}] \cdot [M^{-1}][L^{-2}][T^4][I^2] \] This simplifies to: \[ [RC] = [M^{1-1}][L^{2-2}][T^{-3+4}][I^{-2+2}] = [M^0][L^0][T^1][I^0] = [T] \] ### Step 4: Find the dimension of \( \frac{1}{RC} \) Now, we need to find the dimension of \( \frac{1}{RC} \): \[ \left[\frac{1}{RC}\right] = \frac{1}{[RC]} = \frac{1}{[T]} = [T^{-1}] \] ### Conclusion Thus, the dimension of \( \frac{1}{RC} \) is: \[ [M^0][L^0][T^{-1}] \] ### Final Answer The dimension of \( \frac{1}{RC} \) is \( [M^0][L^0][T^{-1}] \). ---
