Physical World Units And Measurements Ques 19
19. Which of the following will have the dimensions of time
[1996]
(a) LC
(b) $\frac{R}{L}$
(c) $\frac{L}{R}$
(d) $\frac{C}{L}$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 19.(c)
Solution:
- (c) $\varepsilon =-L \frac{d i}{d t}$ $\quad$ …….(1)
$ \varepsilon =i R$ $\quad$ …….(2)
From (1) & (2), $i R=-L \frac{d i}{d t}$
$\therefore \quad$ Dimension of L.H.S. $=$ Dimension of R.H.S.
$[A] R=L[AT^{-1}] \Rightarrow \frac{L}{R}=[T]$
$\frac{L}{R}$ is time constant of R-L circuit so, dimensions of $\frac{L}{R}$ is same as that of time.
