Question:
If momentum (P), area (A) and time (T) are taken to be the fundamental quantities then the dimensional formula for energy is:
$\left[\mathrm{P}^{2} \mathrm{AT}^{-2}\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{PA}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{PA}^{1 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\right]$
$\left[\mathrm{P}^{\mathrm{1} / 2} \mathrm{AT}^{-1}\right]$
Question of from chapter.
JEE Main Previous Year 2020
Correct Option: 3
Solution:
Energy, $E \propto A^{a} T^{b} P^{c}$
or, $\quad E=k A^{a} T^{b} P^{c}$
where $k$ is a dimensionless constant and $a, b$ and $c$ are the exponents.
Dimension of momentum, $P=M^{1} L^{1} T^{-1}$
Dimension of area, $A=L^{2}$
Dimension of time, $T=T^{1}$
Putting these value in equation (i), we get
$M^{1} L^{2} T^{-2}=M^{c} L^{2 a+c} T^{b-c}$
by comparison
$\begin{aligned}
&c=1 \\
&2 a+c=2 \\
&b-c=-2 \\
&c=1, a=1 / 2, b=-1 \\
&\therefore E=A^{1 / 2} T^{-1} P^{1}
\end{aligned}$
