The dimension of B22μ0{{{B^2}} \over {2{\mu _0}}}2μ0​B2​, where B is magnetic field and μ0{{\mu _0}}μ0​ is the magnetic permeability of vacuum, is :
  1. A
    ML2T–2
  2. B
    MLT–2
  3. C
    ML-1T–2
  4. D

Correct answer: C

  1. We need the dimensions of B22μ0\frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}2μ0​B2​ Since 222 is dimensionless, this is the same as finding dimensions of B2μ0.\frac{B^2}{\mu_0}.μ0​B2​.

  2. Use the known physical meaning: B22μ0\frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}2μ0​B2​ is the magnetic energy density.

Energy density === energy per unit volume.

So its dimensions are: [Energy][Volume]=ML2T−2L3=ML−1T−2.\frac{[\text{Energy}]}{[\text{Volume}]}=\frac{ML^2T^{-2}}{L^3}=ML^{-1}T^{-2}.[Volume][Energy]​=L3ML2T−2​=ML−1T−2.

  1. Therefore, [B22μ0]=ML−1T−2.\left[\frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}\right]=ML^{-1}T^{-2}.[2μ0​B2​]=ML−1T−2.

  2. Match with the options:

  • A: ML2T−2ML^2T^{-2}ML2T−2
  • B: MLT−2MLT^{-2}MLT−2
  • C: ML−1T−2ML^{-1}T^{-2}ML−1T−2
  • D: ML2T−1ML^2T^{-1}ML2T−1

Hence, the correct option is: C\boxed{C}C​

  1. Verification with stored answer: Stored correct answer = C, which matches our result.
