PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

The dimensions of entropy are:
Options
A M⁰L⁰T⁰K¹
B M⁰L⁰T⁰K²
C M¹L¹T⁻²K¹
D M¹L²T⁻²K⁻¹
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Entropy change dS = dQ_rev/T. Heat dQ has dimensions of energy ML²T⁻², temperature T has K. So entropy dimensions: ML²T⁻²K⁻¹.

Hint

Entropy = energy/temperature.
