    0ε0)-1 / 2 =
    1
    = c : speed of light
    μ0ε0

    where ε0 =  permittivity of free space
    μ0 = permeability of free space ​
    So dimensions are  [LT – 1]

    Correct Option: C

    0ε0)-1 / 2 =
    1
    = c : speed of light
    μ0ε0

    where ε0 =  permittivity of free space
    μ0 = permeability of free space ​
    So dimensions are  [LT – 1]


  1. The unit of permittivity of free space, εo is

    ε0 =
    q2
    (r2) 4 π F

    ⇒ unit of εo is (coulomb)2 / newton-metre2

    Correct Option: D

    ε0 =
    q2
    (r2) 4 π F

    ⇒ unit of εo is (coulomb)2 / newton-metre2



  1. ​In a particular system, the unit of length, mass and time are chosen to be 10 cm, 10 g and 0.1 s respectively. The unit of force in this system will be equivalent to

    [F] = MLT – 2 = (10g) (10 cm) (0.1s) – 2
    ​= (10 – 2 kg) (10 – 1m) (10 – 1s) – 2 = 10 – 1 N.

    Correct Option: A

    [F] = MLT – 2 = (10g) (10 cm) (0.1s) – 2
    ​= (10 – 2 kg) (10 – 1m) (10 – 1s) – 2 = 10 – 1 N.

    [x] = [bt2].
    Hence [b] = [x / t2] = km/s2.

    Correct Option: C

    [x] = [bt2].
    Hence [b] = [x / t2] = km/s2.
