The SI unit of $ \dfrac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{LC}}$ is equivalent to that of :

  1. time period

  2. frequency

  3. wavelength

  4. wave number
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The angular frequency of current oscillations in an LC circuit is given by $\omega =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt {LC}}$ and $\omega = 2\pi f$.
$\Rightarrow f= \dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$ and the unit is equivalent to that of frequency.

Rate of energy dissipation is measured in 

  1. Watt

  2. Joule

  3. Weber

  4. Joule / coulomb
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Power, or the rate of energy dissipation, is defined as energy per unit time and is measured in Watts (where 1 Watt equals 1 Joule per second). Joules measure energy, Weber measures magnetic flux, and Joule per coulomb measures electric potential.

Which of the following does not has fundamental unit?

  1. Mass

  2. Time

  3. Force

  4. Electric current
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The fundamental units are defined arbitrarily and they are used to derive of others unit. Generally the most common fundamental units are mass, time, length and current.

As the unit of force can be derived from three fundamental units, mass, length and time so the force does not has fundamental unit.
