JEE Advanced2022Paper 2PHY-I
Q.
In a particular system of units, a physical quantity can be expressed in terms of the electric charge , electron mass , Planck's constant , and Coulomb's constant , where is the permittivity of vacuum. In terms of these physical constants, the dimension of the magnetic field is . The value of is ______.
Correct answer: 4
Solution
Write the SI dimensions of each constant: , , , , and .
Equating powers of M, L, T, and I in :
M:
L:
T:
I:
Solving: from and the other relations one obtains , , , (checking: ... using consistent algebra the system yields ).
Adding the four equations directly is the fastest route. From (i) and from (iv) . Solving (ii) and (iii) for along with (iv) and substituting back gives .
