The dimensions of angular momentum, latent heat and capacitance are, respectively.
ML2T1A2, L2T−2, M−1L−2T2
ML2T−2, L2T2, M−1L−2T4A2
ML2T−1, L2T−2, ML2TA2
ML2T−1, L2T−2, M−1L−2T4A2
Let's find the dimensions of angular momentum, latent heat, and capacitance step by step.
First, angular momentum is given by the formula: angular momentum = radius × linear momentum. Radius has the dimension of length, so its dimension is L. Linear momentum is mass × velocity. Mass has dimension M, and velocity is distance over time, so its dimension is LT−1. Therefore, linear momentum has dimension M×LT−1=MLT−1. Now, angular momentum = radius × linear momentum = L×MLT−1=ML2T−1.
Second, latent heat is the heat energy absorbed or released per unit mass during a phase change. Heat energy has the same dimension as work, which is force × distance. Force is mass × acceleration, so force has dimension M×LT−2=MLT−2. Work = force × distance = MLT−2×L=ML2T−2. Latent heat = heat energy / mass = ML2T−2/M=L2T−2.
Third, capacitance is defined as charge divided by voltage. Charge has dimension AT (since current I is charge per time, so charge = current × time). Voltage (potential difference) is work done per unit charge, so voltage = work / charge = ML2T−2/AT=ML2T−3A−1. Therefore, capacitance = charge / voltage = AT/(ML2T−3A−1)=AT×M−1L−2T3A=M−1L−2T4A2.
So, the dimensions are:
- Angular momentum: ML2T−1
- Latent heat: L2T−2
- Capacitance: M−1L−2T4A2
Now, comparing with the options:
- Option A: ML2T1A2 (incorrect angular momentum exponent for T), L2T−2 (correct latent heat), M−1L−2T2 (incorrect capacitance exponent for T)
- Option B: ML2T−2 (incorrect angular momentum exponent for T), L2T2 (incorrect latent heat exponent for T), M−1L−2T4A2 (correct capacitance)
- Option C: ML2T−1 (correct angular momentum), L2T−2 (correct latent heat), ML2TA2 (incorrect capacitance exponents and sign)
- Option D: ML2T−1 (correct angular momentum), L2T−2 (correct latent heat), M−1L−2T4A2 (correct capacitance)
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
