Physics And Measurement Question 23

Question: Assertion: L/R and CR both have same dimensions. Reason: L/R and CR both have dimension of time.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Unit of quantity (L/R) is Henry/ohm.

As Henry = ohm ยด sec, hence unit of L/R is sec i.e. [L/R] = [T].

Similarly, unit of product CR is farad ยด ohm or, $ \frac{Coulomb}{Volt}\times \frac{Volt}{Amp} $ or, $ \frac{Sec\times Amp}{Amp} $

or, sec i.e. [CR] = [T]

therefore [L/R] and [CR] both have the same dimension.
