The correct Answer is:
To determine the SI units of constants \( A \) and \( B \) in the given electric field expression \( \bar{E} = \left( \frac{A}{x^2} \hat{i} + \frac{B}{y^3} \hat{j} \right) \), we need to analyze the units of the electric field and how they relate to \( A \) and \( B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electric Field**: The electric field \( \bar{E} \) is given in the form of two components: \[ \bar{E} = \frac{A}{x^2} \hat{i} + \frac{B}{y^3} \hat{j} \] The unit of electric field \( E \) is Newton per Coulomb (N/C). 2. **Analyze the First Component**: For the \( \hat{i} \) component: \[ E_x = \frac{A}{x^2} \] The units of \( E_x \) must match the units of electric field: \[ [E_x] = \frac{[A]}{[x^2]} \] Here, \( [x] \) (the unit of distance) is in meters (m). Thus, \( [x^2] = m^2 \). Therefore, we have: \[ [E_x] = \frac{[A]}{m^2} \] Setting this equal to the unit of electric field: \[ N/C = \frac{[A]}{m^2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [A] = N \cdot m^2/C \] 3. **Analyze the Second Component**: For the \( \hat{j} \) component: \[ E_y = \frac{B}{y^3} \] Similarly, we have: \[ [E_y] = \frac{[B]}{[y^3]} \] Here, \( [y^3] = m^3 \). Thus: \[ [E_y] = \frac{[B]}{m^3} \] Setting this equal to the unit of electric field: \[ N/C = \frac{[B]}{m^3} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [B] = N \cdot m^3/C \] 4. **Final Units**: - The SI unit of \( A \) is \( N \cdot m^2/C \). - The SI unit of \( B \) is \( N \cdot m^3/C \). ### Conclusion: The SI units of \( A \) and \( B \) are: - \( A: \text{Newton meter}^2 \text{ per Coulomb} \) (N·m²/C) - \( B: \text{Newton meter}^3 \text{ per Coulomb} \) (N·m³/C)
