The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find which of the given quantities have the same dimensions as time (T). We will analyze each option step-by-step. ### Step 1: Write down the dimensions of the given quantities. 1. **Capacitance (C)**: The dimensional formula for capacitance is: \[ [C] = M^{-1} L^{-2} T^{4} I^{2} \] 2. **Resistance (R)**: The dimensional formula for resistance is: \[ [R] = M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-3} \] 3. **Inductance (L)**: The dimensional formula for inductance is: \[ [L] = M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-2} \] 4. **Electric Current (I)**: The dimensional formula for electric current is: \[ [I] = I \] ### Step 2: Analyze each option to find their dimensions. #### Option (a): \( CR \) \[ [CR] = [C] \times [R] = (M^{-1} L^{-2} T^{4} I^{2}) \times (M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-3}) \] Calculating this gives: \[ [CR] = M^{0} L^{0} T^{1} I^{0} = T \] Thus, \( CR \) has the dimension of time. #### Option (b): \( \frac{L}{R} \) \[ \left[\frac{L}{R}\right] = \frac{[L]}{[R]} = \frac{M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-2}}{M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-3}} = T \] Thus, \( \frac{L}{R} \) also has the dimension of time. #### Option (c): \( \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \) \[ \left[\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\right] = \sqrt{\frac{[L]}{[C]}} = \sqrt{\frac{M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-2}}{M^{-1} L^{-2} T^{4} I^{2}}} \] Calculating this gives: \[ = \sqrt{M^{1} L^{4} I^{-4} T^{-6}} = M^{\frac{1}{2}} L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-3} \] This does not simplify to time. #### Option (d): \( LI^{2} \) \[ [LI^{2}] = [L] \times [I^{2}] = (M L^{2} I^{-2} T^{-2}) \times (I^{2}) = M L^{2} T^{-2} \] This does not simplify to time. ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Option (a) \( CR \) has dimensions of time. - Option (b) \( \frac{L}{R} \) has dimensions of time. - Option (c) \( \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \) does not have dimensions of time. - Option (d) \( LI^{2} \) does not have dimensions of time. Thus, the quantities that have the same dimensions as time are: **(a) and (b)**. ### Final Answer The correct options are (a) and (b). ---
