Q105 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Physics

The dimensional formula of μ0ε0 is

  • A
    ML2 T-3A2
  • B
    M0LT-1A0
  • Correct answer
    C
    ML2 T-3A-2
  • D
    M-1 L-2 T3 A2

Solution

We know that, velocity of light c is terms of ϵ0 and μ0 is given by

c=1μ0ε0⇒c2=1μ0ε0

c2=1μ02μ0ε0⇒c=1μ0μ0ε0⇒μ0ε0=cμ0   ...i

Dimension of the magnetic field, B=τNIA=ML2 T-2AL2

=MA-1T-2

Again, B=μ0nI

∴ μ0=Bnl=MA-1T-2L-1A=MLA-2T-2

μ0=MLA-2T-2    ...ii

and C=LT-1    ...iii

From Equations. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

μ0ϵ0=LT-1MLA-2T-2=ML2T-3A-2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
