Question

If L denotes the inductance of an inductor through which a current i is flowing, the dimensions of Li² are:

A

ML²T⁻²

B

Not expressible in MLT

C

MLT⁻²

D

LT

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the dimensions of the quantity Li2Li^2, we can relate it to the energy stored in an inductor.

  1. Formula: The work done (WW) required to build up a current II in an inductor of inductance LL is stored as magnetic potential energy. The expression is given by W=12LI2W = \frac{1}{2}LI^2 .
  2. Dimensional Analysis: Since the factor 12\frac{1}{2} is a dimensionless constant, the dimensions of Li2Li^2 are identical to the dimensions of Work or Energy.
  3. Dimensions of Energy: The dimensional formula for Work/Energy is [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .
  4. Verification: Inductance (LL): Dimensions are [ML2T2A2][ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}] . Current (ii): Dimensions are [A][A].
  • Li2=[ML2T2A2]×[A]2=[ML2T2]Li^2 = [ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}] \times [A]^2 = [ML^2T^{-2}].

Therefore, the dimensions of Li2Li^2 are [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}].
