Units & Dimensions

Which of the following units denotes the dimension ML2Q2\frac{ML^2}{Q^2}, where QQ denotes the electric charge?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Energy in an inductor U=12LI2U = \frac{1}{2}LI^2, so [L]=[U]/[I2][L] = [U]/[I^2].
  2. [I]=QT−1[I] = \mathrm{QT^{-1}}, so [L]=ML2T−2Q2T−2=ML2Q−2[L] = \frac{\mathrm{ML^2T^{-2}}}{\mathrm{Q^2T^{-2}}} = \mathrm{ML^2Q^{-2}}.
  3. So the answer is (b) Henry.
