Physical World Units And Measurements Ques 11

11. Dimensions of resistance in an electrical circuit, in terms of dimension of mass $[M]$, of length $[L]$, of time $[T]$ and of current $[I]$, would be

[2007]

(a) $[ML^{2} T^{-2}]$

(c) $[ML^{2} T^{-3} I^{-2}]$

(b) $[ML^{2} T^{-1} I^{-1}]$

(d) $[ML^{2} T^{-3} I-1]$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11.(c)

Solution:

  1. (c) As we know that

$R=\frac{[V]}{[I]}=\frac{w}{q \cdot i}=\frac{w}{i \cdot t \cdot i}$

Dimension of Resistance

$=\frac{[ML^{2} T^{-3} I^{-1}]}{[T][I]}=[ML^{2} T^{-3} I^{-2}]$
