JEE MainPhysicsElectrostaticsMCQ+4 / −1
If ϵ0\epsilon_0ϵ0​ denotes the permittivity of free space and ΦE\Phi_EΦE​ is the flux of the electric field through the area bounded by the closed surface, then dimensions of (ϵ0dϕEdt)\left(\epsilon_0 \frac{d \phi_E}{d t}\right)(ϵ0​dtdϕE​​) are that of :
  1. A
    electric charge
  2. B
    electric field
  3. C
    electric current
  4. D
    electric potential

Correct answer: C

  1. We need the dimensions of (ε0dΦEdt).\left(\varepsilon_0\frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}\right).(ε0​dtdΦE​​).

  2. Use Gauss's law for electric flux through a closed surface: ΦE=∮E⃗⋅dA⃗=qenclε0.\Phi_E = \oint \vec E\cdot d\vec A = \frac{q_{\text{encl}}}{\varepsilon_0}.ΦE​=∮E⋅dA=ε0​qencl​​.

So, ε0ΦE=q.\varepsilon_0 \Phi_E = q.ε0​ΦE​=q.

  1. Differentiate with respect to time: ε0dΦEdt=dqdt.\varepsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} = \frac{dq}{dt}.ε0​dtdΦE​​=dtdq​.

But dqdt=I,\frac{dq}{dt} = I,dtdq​=I, where III is electric current.

  1. Therefore, the dimensions of (ε0dΦEdt)\left(\varepsilon_0\frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}\right)(ε0​dtdΦE​​) are the same as those of electric current.

  2. Checking options:

  • A: electric charge →\to→ incorrect
  • B: electric field →\to→ incorrect
  • C: electric current →\to→ correct
  • D: electric potential →\to→ incorrect

Hence, the correct option is C.
