Question

A physical quantity of the dimensions of length that can be formed out of cc, GG and e24πε0\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} is [cc is the velocity of light, GG is the universal constant of gravitation and ee is charge]

A

1c2[Ge24πε0]1/2\frac{1}{c^2}\left[G\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right]^{1/2}

B

c2[Ge24πε0]1/2c^2\left[G\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right]^{1/2}

C

1c2[e2G4πε0]1/2\frac{1}{c^2}\left[\frac{e^2}{G 4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right]^{1/2}

D

1cGe24πε0\frac{1}{c} G \frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}

Step-by-Step Solution

Let us write the dimensions of each quantity involved: Dimension of velocity of light, c=[LT1]c = [L T^{-1}] Dimension of universal gravitational constant, G=[M1L3T2]G = [M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}] From Coulomb's law, electrostatic force F=14πε0e2r2    e24πε0=Fr2F = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{e^2}{r^2} \implies \frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = F r^2. Therefore, the dimension of e24πε0\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} is [MLT2][L2]=[ML3T2][M L T^{-2}] [L^2] = [M L^3 T^{-2}]. Let the physical quantity with dimension of length LL be related to cc, GG, and e24πε0\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} as: LcxGy(e24πε0)zL \propto c^x G^y \left(\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right)^z Substituting their dimensions: [L1]=[LT1]x[M1L3T2]y[ML3T2]z[L^1] = [L T^{-1}]^x [M^{-1} L^3 T^{-2}]^y [M L^3 T^{-2}]^z [M0L1T0]=[My+zLx+3y+3zTx2y2z][M^0 L^1 T^0] = [M^{-y+z} L^{x+3y+3z} T^{-x-2y-2z}] Equating the powers of MM, LL, and TT on both sides, we get: For MM: y+z=0    y=z-y + z = 0 \implies y = z For TT: x2y2z=0    x+4y=0    x=4y-x - 2y - 2z = 0 \implies x + 4y = 0 \implies x = -4y For LL: x+3y+3z=1    4y+3y+3y=1    2y=1    y=1/2x + 3y + 3z = 1 \implies -4y + 3y + 3y = 1 \implies 2y = 1 \implies y = 1/2 Thus, z=1/2z = 1/2 and x=4(1/2)=2x = -4(1/2) = -2. So, the physical quantity is c2G1/2(e24πε0)1/2=1c2[Ge24πε0]1/2c^{-2} G^{1/2} \left(\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right)^{1/2} = \frac{1}{c^2}\left[G\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right]^{1/2}.
