What is the dimension of electric field intensity?(a) [M L T^-2 I^-1](b) [M L T^-3 I^-1](c) [M L T^-2 I^-2](d) [M L T^-3 I]The question was posed to me in examination.This is a very interesting question from Electric Field in chapter Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12 |

Answer» CORRECT option is (b) [M L T^-3 I^-1] Explanation: Electric FIELD intensity is defined as the force on a unit positive charge kept in an electric field. Hence we can simply CONSIDER its dimension as\(\FRAC {the \, dimension \, of \, force}{the \, dimension \, of \, charge}\). The dimension of force is [MLT^-2] and the dimension of charge is [IT]. Therefore the dimension of field intensity is [M L T^-3 I^-1]. |
