PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

Which of the following physical quantities do not have the same dimensions?
Options
A Pressure, Young modulus, stress
B Electromotive force, voltage, potential
C Heat, work, energy
D Electric dipole, electric field, flux
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electric dipole moment has dimensions [L I T]. Electric field has [MLT⁻³I⁻¹]. Flux (electric) has [ML³T⁻³I⁻¹]. So they are different. Others: pressure, Young's modulus, stress all [ML⁻¹T⁻²]; emf, voltage, potential all [ML²T⁻³I⁻¹]; heat, work, energy all [ML²T⁻²].

Hint

Check dimensions of electric dipole moment vs. electric field.
