The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the dimensions of the expression \( \frac{M}{Vr} \) where \( M \) is the magnetic moment, \( V \) is the velocity, and \( r \) is the radius, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the dimensions of magnetic moment \( M \) The magnetic moment \( M \) can be expressed in terms of current and area. The formula for magnetic moment is: \[ M = I \cdot A \] where \( I \) is the current and \( A \) is the area. The dimensions of current \( I \) are: \[ [I] = A \quad (\text{Ampere}) \] The dimensions of area \( A \) (which is length squared) are: \[ [A] = L^2 \] Thus, the dimensions of magnetic moment \( M \) are: \[ [M] = [I] \cdot [A] = A \cdot L^2 \] ### Step 2: Determine the dimensions of velocity \( V \) Velocity is defined as distance divided by time: \[ V = \frac{d}{t} \] where \( d \) is distance (length) and \( t \) is time. The dimensions of velocity \( V \) are: \[ [V] = \frac{L}{T} \quad (L = \text{length}, T = \text{time}) \] ### Step 3: Determine the dimensions of radius \( r \) The radius \( r \) is simply a measure of length, so its dimensions are: \[ [r] = L \] ### Step 4: Combine the dimensions in the expression \( \frac{M}{Vr} \) Now we substitute the dimensions we found into the expression \( \frac{M}{Vr} \): \[ \frac{M}{Vr} = \frac{A \cdot L^2}{\left(\frac{L}{T}\right) \cdot L} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression First, simplify the denominator: \[ Vr = \left(\frac{L}{T}\right) \cdot L = \frac{L^2}{T} \] Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ \frac{M}{Vr} = \frac{A \cdot L^2}{\frac{L^2}{T}} = A \cdot L^2 \cdot \frac{T}{L^2} \] The \( L^2 \) terms cancel out: \[ \frac{M}{Vr} = A \cdot T \] ### Step 6: Identify the physical quantity The dimensions \( A \cdot T \) correspond to electric charge \( Q \), since: \[ Q = I \cdot T \] where \( I \) has dimensions \( A \) (Ampere) and \( T \) is time. ### Conclusion Thus, the dimensions of \( \frac{M}{Vr} \) correspond to electric charge. ### Final Answer The expression \( \frac{M}{Vr} \) has the dimensions of electric charge. ---
