Inductance LL can be dimensionally represented as:

A

ML2T2A2ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}

B

ML2T4A3ML^2T^{-4}A^{-3}

C

ML2T2A2ML^{-2}T^{-2}A^{-2}

D

ML2T4A3ML^2T^4A^3

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the sources, inductance (LL) is a scalar quantity defined by the ratio of magnetic flux linkage to current (L=NΦB/IL = N\Phi_B / I) . The dimensions of magnetic flux (ΦB\Phi_B) are [ML2T2A1][ML^2T^{-2}A^{-1}] . Dividing this by the dimension of current ([A][A]) gives the dimensions of inductance as [ML2T2A2][ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}] . Alternatively, this can be derived from the expression for magnetic energy stored in an inductor, W=12LI2W = \frac{1}{2}LI^2. Since energy (WW) has dimensions [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] and current (II) has dimension [A][A], the dimensions for LL are [ML2T2]/[A]2=[ML2T2A2][ML^2T^{-2}]/[A]^2 = [ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2}] .
