PHY 101 Physical Quantities And Units Objective Question

Question

If L is the inductance and C is the capacitance, then the dimensional representation of 1/(2π√LC) is:
Options
A [LT]
B [T⁻¹]
Correct Answer
C [T]
D None of the above
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The quantity 1/√(LC) is angular frequency. Dimensions: [L] = ML²T⁻²I⁻²? Actually, inductance L has dimensions ML²T⁻²I⁻². Capacitance C has dimensions M⁻¹L⁻²T⁴I². So LC has dimensions T². √(LC) has T. 1/√(LC) has T⁻¹, which is frequency.

Hint

Recall that ω = 1/√(LC) for LC circuit.
