If , and represent resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance. Then which of the following is dimensionless :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
In AC circuits, resistance and reactances have the same unit.
- Resistance: has unit ohm
- Inductive reactance: also has unit ohm
- Capacitive reactance: also has unit ohm
Hence,
-
Now check each option dimensionally.
Option A: Dimensions: Not dimensionless.
Option B: Dimensions: Not dimensionless.
Option C: Dimensions: So this is dimensionless.
Option D: Dimensions: Not dimensionless.
-
Therefore, the only dimensionless quantity is
-
Comparison with stored correct answer:
- Derived answer: C
- Stored correct answer: C
They match.
