Which one of the following is the correct dimensional formula for the capacitance in F ? $\mathrm{M}, \mathrm{L}, \mathrm{T}$ and C stand for unit of mass, length, time and charge,
  1. $[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{C}^2 \mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^2\right]$
  2. $[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{C}^2 \mathrm{M}^{-2} \mathrm{~L}^2 \mathrm{~T}^2\right]$
  3. $[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{CM}^{-2} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]$
  4. $[\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{CM}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^2\right]$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Energy }=\frac{Q^2}{2 C} \\ & \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad[\mathrm{F}] & =\frac{\left[\mathrm{C}^2\right]}{\left[\mathrm{ML}^2 \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]} \\ & =\left[\mathrm{C}^2 \mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^{+2}\right]\end{aligned}\end{aligned}$
