X=3YZ2X = 3YZ^2, find the dimension of YY in (MKSA) system, if XX and ZZ are the dimensions of capacity and magnetic field respectively.

A

[M3L2T4A1][M^{-3} L^{-2} T^{-4} A^{-1}]

B

[ML2][M L^{-2}]

C

[M3L2T4A4][M^{-3} L^{-2} T^4 A^4]

D

[M3L2T8A4][M^{-3} L^{-2} T^8 A^4]

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Find the dimensions of capacity (XX): Capacitance C=QV=Q2WC = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{Q^2}{W}. Since Q=[AT]Q = [AT] and Work W=[ML2T2]W = [ML^2T^{-2}], [X]=[AT]2[ML2T2]=[M1L2T4A2][X] = \frac{[AT]^2}{[ML^2T^{-2}]} = [M^{-1} L^{-2} T^4 A^2].

  2. Find the dimensions of magnetic field (ZZ): Magnetic force F=qvB    B=FqvF = qvB \implies B = \frac{F}{qv}. Since F=[MLT2]F = [MLT^{-2}], q=[AT]q = [AT], and v=[LT1]v = [LT^{-1}], [Z]=[MLT2][AT][LT1]=[MT2A1][Z] = \frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[AT][LT^{-1}]} = [M T^{-2} A^{-1}].

  3. Calculate the dimensions of YY: Given X=3YZ2    Y=X3Z2X = 3YZ^2 \implies Y = \frac{X}{3Z^2}. Ignoring the dimensionless constant 33, we get: [Y]=[X][Z]2=[M1L2T4A2][MT2A1]2[Y] = \frac{[X]}{[Z]^2} = \frac{[M^{-1} L^{-2} T^4 A^2]}{[M T^{-2} A^{-1}]^2} [Y]=[M1L2T4A2][M2T4A2]=[M3L2T8A4][Y] = \frac{[M^{-1} L^{-2} T^4 A^2]}{[M^2 T^{-4} A^{-2}]} = [M^{-3} L^{-2} T^8 A^4].
