Dimension of 1 μ 0 ε 0 should be equal to

Dimension of 1μ0ε0 should be equal to
  1. L T-1
  2. T2 L-2
  3. L2 T-2
  4. T L-1

Solution

The speed of light can be written as

c=1μ0ε0   ...1

Rearrange equation (1) to obtain the required quantity.

1μ0ε0=c2   ...2

Use the method of dimensional analysis to obtain the dimension of the required quantity.

1μ0ε0=LT-12=L2 T-2
