Dimensions of charge are:

Question

Accepted Answer

1. **Definition of Charge:** Electric current ($I$) is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge ($Q$) over time ($t$). 
   $$I = \frac{Q}{t} \implies Q = I 	imes t$$
2. **Identify Fundamental Dimensions:** The fundamental dimension for electric current is $[A]$ (Ampere), and for time, it is $[T]$ .
3. **Calculate Dimensions:** Substituting the fundamental dimensions into the formula for charge:
   $$[Q] = [A] 	imes [T] = [TA]$$
   Therefore, the dimensional formula for charge is $[M^0L^0TA]$ or simply $[TA]$ .
