Dimensions: Practice Problem & Solution
The dimensional formula of \(\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2\) is (All symbols have their usual meaning)
Solution Explained:
To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Dimensions. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:
The term \(\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2\) represents the electrostatic energy density (energy per unit volume). Therefore, its dimensional formula is \(\frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[L^3]} = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]\).
