Q160 / 180 · COMEDK 2017 · Physics
The square root of the product of inductance and capacitance has the dimension of
- Alength
- Bmass
- Correct answerCtime
- Dno dimension
Solution
We know that, in $L-C-R$ series resonant circuit, resonance frequency,
$\begin{aligned} f &=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}} \\ \Rightarrow \sqrt{L C} &=\frac{1}{2 \pi f} \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{L C}=\frac{1}{\omega} \quad[\omega=$ angular frequency $]$
$\begin{aligned}
&\therefore \text { Dimension of } \sqrt{L C}=\frac{1}{\text { Dimension of } \omega} \\
&\Rightarrow \quad[\sqrt{L C}]=\frac{1}{[\omega]}=\frac{1}{\left[\mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right]}=[\mathrm{T}]
\end{aligned}$
Hence, square root of the product of inductance $[L]$ and capacitance $[\mathrm{C}]$ has the dimension of time.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
