A physical quantity of the dimensions of length that can be formed out ofc, G and 4πε0e2 is (cis the velocity of light, Gis the universal constant of gravitation and e is a charge, ε0 is electrical permittivity):
(a) c2[G4πε0e2]21
(b) c21[G4πε0e2]21
(c) c1G4πε0e2
(d) c21[G4πε0e2]21
Solution
Hint To tackle these inquiries initially compose dimensions of all the given amounts in terms of a basic amount and afterward discover the connection between them. And then by using the dimensions we will make the relationship and check the result.
Formula used:
Time period,
T=2πl/g
Here,
T , will be the time period
l , will be the length and
g , will be the acceleration due to gravity.
Complete Step by Step Solution As we know, the time period
T=2πl/g
And,
4πε0e2=[F×d2]
And the dimension of the above quantity will be written as
⇒Mc3T−2
And also similarly the dimension of rest given quantity will be
G=ML3T−2
And that cwill be
c=L−1
As the length is directly proportional to given three physical quantities.
So mathematically it can be written as
⇒L=[c]x[G]y[4πε0e2]z
So substituting the dimensions for all the quantity, we get
⇒L=[LT−1]x[M−1L3T−2]y[ML3T−2]z
Now we will make similar variables at one place, so by solving we will get
⇒[L]=[Lz+3y+3zM−y+zT−x−2y−2z]
Now on doing the comparison for both the sides of the above equation, we get
⇒−y+z=0
And it can be written as
⇒y=z
Another equation will be,
⇒x+3y+3z=1
And there will be one more equation, so it will be
⇒−x−4z=0
Now from all these above three equations, on solving for the value of x,y,z
We get,
⇒z=y=21,x=−2
On putting the value x,y,zin the first equation
Therefore the Lwill be
L=c21[G4πε0e2]21
Hence, the option D will be the right option.
Note Dimensions have a lot of uses which makes it very significant. When we know about the dimensions of a quantity then we can form formulas related to it and also check a particularly given formula. If you want to know how?? Then you can question me again.
Dimensions are also used for converting a quantity into its another unit (either CGS, SI, or even a given unit in the question.)
Dimensions provide us with detailed information about derived quantities in a precise manner.
