Identify the dimension of electrostatic potential energy from the following.(a) ML^2T^-3A^-2(b) ML^3T^-2A^-1(c) M^-1L^2T^-3A(d) ML^2T^-3A^-1The question was asked in homework.Origin of the question is Potential Energy in an External Field topic in chapter Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (d) ML^2T^-3A^-1

The EXPLANATION: Electrostatic potential energy is a scalar QUANTITY that means it possesses only MAGNITUDE and no DIRECTION. This quantity is denoted by U and it is measured in joules (J). The dimensional formula of electrostatic potential energy is ML^2T^-3A^-1.
