Correct answer: D

  1. Write dimensions of each given quantity

We need the combination whose dimension is that of momentum.

Momentum: [p]=MLT−1[p] = MLT^{-1}[p]=MLT−1

Charge: [q]=IT[q] = IT[q]=IT

Current: [I]=I[I] = I[I]=I

Permeability of vacuum μ0\mu_0μ0​:

Using F=μ0I1I22πrlF = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}lF=2πrμ0​I1​I2​​l we get [μ0]=[F][r][I]2[l]=(MLT−2)(L)I2(L)=MLT−2I−2[\mu_0] = \frac{[F][r]}{[I]^2[l]} = \frac{(MLT^{-2})(L)}{I^2(L)} = ML T^{-2} I^{-2}[μ0​]=[I]2[l][F][r]​=I2(L)(MLT−2)(L)​=MLT−2I−2

So, [μ0]=MLT−2I−2[\mu_0] = MLT^{-2}I^{-2}[μ0​]=MLT−2I−2


  1. Check each option

Option A: qIμ0\dfrac{qI}{\mu_0}μ0​qI​

[qI/μ0]=(IT)(I)MLT−2I−2[qI/\mu_0] = \frac{(IT)(I)}{MLT^{-2}I^{-2}}[qI/μ0​]=MLT−2I−2(IT)(I)​ =I2TMLT−2I−2=M−1L−1T3I4= \frac{I^2T}{MLT^{-2}I^{-2}} = M^{-1}L^{-1}T^3I^4=MLT−2I−2I2T​=M−1L−1T3I4 This is not momentum.


Option B: q2μ0Iq^2\mu_0 Iq2μ0​I

[q2μ0I]=(IT)2(MLT−2I−2)(I)[q^2\mu_0 I] = (IT)^2(MLT^{-2}I^{-2})(I)[q2μ0​I]=(IT)2(MLT−2I−2)(I) =I2T2⋅MLT−2I−2⋅I= I^2T^2 \cdot MLT^{-2}I^{-2} \cdot I=I2T2⋅MLT−2I−2⋅I =MLI= MLI=MLI This is not momentum.


Option C: qμ0I\dfrac{q\mu_0}{I}Iqμ0​​

[qμ0/I]=(IT)(MLT−2I−2)I[q\mu_0/I] = \frac{(IT)(MLT^{-2}I^{-2})}{I}[qμ0​/I]=I(IT)(MLT−2I−2)​ =MLT−1I−2= MLT^{-1}I^{-2}=MLT−1I−2 This is not momentum.


Option D: qμ0Iq\mu_0 Iqμ0​I

[qμ0I]=(IT)(MLT−2I−2)(I)[q\mu_0 I] = (IT)(MLT^{-2}I^{-2})(I)[qμ0​I]=(IT)(MLT−2I−2)(I) =IT⋅MLT−2I−2⋅I= IT \cdot MLT^{-2}I^{-2} \cdot I=IT⋅MLT−2I−2⋅I =MLT−1= MLT^{-1}=MLT−1 This is exactly the dimension of momentum.


  1. Final answer

The quantity having the dimension of momentum is: qμ0I\boxed{q\mu_0 I}qμ0​I​ So, Option D is correct.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

My derived answer: D

They agree.
