Correct Answer - Option 4 : kg m-2

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. kg m-2

CONCEPT:

  • The SI base units are the standard units of measurement.
  • The seven base units used in the SI system are meter (m)kilogram (kg), second (s), kelvin (K), ampere (A), mole (mol), and candela (cd).
  • The seven base units along with their dimensions are as follows:
Fundamental quantity Dimension
Time T
Mass M

Electric current

A
Thermodynamic temperature K
Amount of substance mol
Luminous intensity cd
Length L
 

EXPLANATION:

  • The capacitance C is related to the charge Q and voltage V across them as: \(C =\frac{Q}{V}\)
    • Dimensions of charge, Q = current × time = [A] × [T] = [A1T1]
    • Dimensions of voltage, V = work done per unit charge = (force × displacement)(charge)-1 = [M1L1T-2][L1] × [A1T1]-1 = [M1L2A-1T-3]
    • Dimensions of capacitance, \( C =\frac{[A^1T^1]}{[M^1L^2A^{-1}T^{-3}]} = [M^{-1}A^2L^{-2}T^4]\)
  • A charged particle (q) moving with a speed (v) relative to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force due to the magnetic field (B). The magnitude of this force (F) is given by

F = qvB

  • Magnetic field intensity, \(B =\frac{F}{qv}\)
  • Dimensions of force, F = [M1L1T-2]
  • Dimensions of charge, q = [A1T1]
  • Dimensions of velocity, v = [L1T-1]
  • Dimensions of \(B =\frac{[M^1L^1T^{-2}]}{[A^1T^{1}][L^1T^{-1}]} = [M^1T^{-2}A^{-1}]\)

⇒ Dimension of x = CB2 = [M-1A2L-2T4] [M1T-2A-1]2 = [M1L-2]

⇒ SI base unit for [M] and [L] is kg and m respectively.

⇒ [M1L-2] = kg m-2
