The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensional formula for the product of magnetic permeability (μ), magnetic moment (M), and intensity of magnetizing field (H), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Magnetic Moment (M)**: It is defined as the product of the current (I) flowing through a loop and the area (A) of the loop. - **Magnetic Permeability (μ)**: It relates the magnetic induction (B) to the intensity of the magnetizing field (H) through the equation B = μH. - **Intensity of Magnetizing Field (H)**: It is a measure of the strength of the magnetic field. ### Step 2: Find the Dimensional Formula for Magnetic Moment (M) The magnetic moment (M) can be expressed as: \[ M = I \cdot A \] Where: - \( I \) (current) has the dimension of [A] (Ampere). - \( A \) (area) has the dimension of [L²] (Length squared). Thus, the dimensional formula for magnetic moment (M) is: \[ [M] = [I] \cdot [A] = [A] \cdot [L^2] = A \cdot L^2 \] ### Step 3: Find the Dimensional Formula for Magnetic Induction (B) From the equation \( B = μH \), we can express μ as: \[ μ = \frac{B}{H} \] To find the dimensional formula for B, we can use the relationship with force (F), charge (q), and velocity (v): \[ F = q(v \times B) \] The dimension of force (F) is: \[ [F] = [M][L][T^{-2}] \] The dimension of charge (q) is: \[ [q] = [A][T] \] The dimension of velocity (v) is: \[ [v] = [L][T^{-1}] \] Thus, the dimension of B can be derived as: \[ [B] = \frac{[F]}{[q][v]} = \frac{[M][L][T^{-2}]}{[A][T][L][T^{-1}]} = \frac{[M]}{[A][T]} \] This simplifies to: \[ [B] = [M][A^{-1}][T^{-2}] \] ### Step 4: Find the Dimensional Formula for Magnetic Permeability (μ) Now substituting the dimensions of B and H into the equation for μ: \[ μ = \frac{B}{H} \] Where H has the dimension of [A][T^{-1}][L^{-1}]. Therefore: \[ [H] = [A][L^{-1}][T^{-1}] \] So, we have: \[ [μ] = \frac{[M][A^{-1}][T^{-2}]}{[A][L^{-1}][T^{-1}]} = [M][A^{-2}][L][T^{-1}] \] ### Step 5: Combine the Dimensional Formulas Now we need to find the dimensional formula for \( μMH \): \[ [μMH] = [μ] \cdot [M] \cdot [H] \] Substituting the dimensions we found: \[ [μMH] = ([M][A^{-2}][L][T^{-1}]) \cdot ([A][L^2]) \cdot ([A][L^{-1}][T^{-1}]) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Now simplifying: \[ [μMH] = [M][A^{-2}][L][T^{-1}] \cdot [A][L^2] \cdot [A][L^{-1}][T^{-1}] \] \[ = [M][A^{-2}][L^2][T^{-2}] \] \[ = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \] ### Final Result Thus, the dimensional formula for \( μMH \) is: \[ [μMH] = [M][L^2][T^{-2}] \]
