The dimensions of ratio of magnetic flux $(\phi)$ and permeability $(u)$ are:

  1. $[M^0 L^1 A^1 T^0]$
  2. $[M^0 L^{-3} T^0 A^1]$
  3. $[M^0 L^{-1} T^1 A^{-1}]$
  4. $[M^0 L^2 T^0 A^1]$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetic flux $= B.A.$
Permatibility $= \dfrac{B}{H} = \dfrac{J}{A.M}$

$= \dfrac{BA}{B/H}$

$= \dfrac{BAH}{B} = AH$

$= [L^2] [AC^{-1}]$

$= [M^o LAT^o]$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The solid angle $\Omega=\dfrac{A}{r^2}$

where, $A=$ area
When solid angle subtended at any point inside the surface due to small area $ds$
$A=ds$ $cos\theta$
Solid angle $\Omega=\dfrac{dscos\theta}{r^2}$
The correct option is B.

The SI unit of electron mobility is  :

  1. ${M^2}{S^{ - 1}}V - 1$
  2. $=m^2 s^{-1}V^{-1}$
  3. $m{s^{ - 1}}V$
  4. ${m^2}{s^{ - 2}}V$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Electron mobility:- It is the ratio of velocity to electric field.

$\mu=\dfrac{v _e}{E}$. . . . . . .(1)
SI unit of velocity, $v _e$ $=m/s$
SI unit of electric field, $E$ $=V/m$
From equation (1),
SI unit of electron mobility is $=\dfrac{m/s}{V/m}$
$=m^2/Vs$
$=m^2 s^{-1}V^{-1}$

  1. $\displaystyle { kg\quad m }^{ 2 }{ s }^{ 3 }{ A }^{ -1 }$
  2. $\displaystyle { kg\quad m }^{ 2 }{ s }^{ 2 }{ A }$
  3. $\displaystyle { kg\quad ms }^{ -3 }{ A }^{ 2 }$
  4. $\displaystyle { kg}^{2}{ m }^{ 2 }{ s }^{ 3}{ A }^{ -1 }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

SI unit of $M$ is $kg$, that of $L$ is $m$, $T$ is $s$ and $I$ is $A$.
So, SI unit of $[M^1L^2T^{3}I^{-1}]$ is  $kg \ m^2s^{3}A^{-1}$.
