Correct answer: A

  1. Find dimensions of each quantity in List-I

(A) Permeability of free space, μ0\mu_0μ0​

Using the relation for magnetic force between two parallel currents,

FL=μ0I1I22πr\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}LF​=2πrμ0​I1​I2​​

So,

[μ0]=[F/L] [r][I]2[\mu_0] = \frac{[F/L]\,[r]}{[I]^2}[μ0​]=[I]2[F/L][r]​

Now,

[F]=[MLT−2],[F/L]=[MT−2],[r]=[L],[I]=[A][F] = [MLT^{-2}], \quad [F/L] = [MT^{-2}], \quad [r]=[L], \quad [I]=[A][F]=[MLT−2],[F/L]=[MT−2],[r]=[L],[I]=[A]

Therefore,

[μ0]=[MT−2][L][A2]=[MLT−2A−2][\mu_0] = \frac{[MT^{-2}][L]}{[A^2]} = [MLT^{-2}A^{-2}][μ0​]=[A2][MT−2][L]​=[MLT−2A−2]

So,

(A)→(III)(A) \to (III)(A)→(III)

(B) Magnetic field, BBB

Using Lorentz force,

F=qvBF = qvBF=qvB

Hence,

[B]=[F][q][v][B] = \frac{[F]}{[q][v]}[B]=[q][v][F]​

Now,

[q]=[AT],[v]=[LT−1][q]=[AT], \quad [v]=[LT^{-1}][q]=[AT],[v]=[LT−1]

Thus,

[B]=[MLT−2][AT][LT−1]=[MT−2A−1][B] = \frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[AT][LT^{-1}]} = [MT^{-2}A^{-1}][B]=[AT][LT−1][MLT−2]​=[MT−2A−1]

So,

(B)→(II)(B) \to (II)(B)→(II)

(C) Magnetic moment

Magnetic moment of a current loop is

m=IAm = IAm=IA

where area has dimension [L2][L^2][L2]. Therefore,

[m]=[A][L2]=[L2A][m] = [A][L^2] = [L^2A][m]=[A][L2]=[L2A]

So,

(C)→(IV)(C) \to (IV)(C)→(IV)

(D) Torsional constant

Torsional constant is torque per unit angular twist:

C=τθC = \frac{\tau}{\theta}C=θτ​

Since angle θ\thetaθ is dimensionless,

[C]=[τ][C] = [\tau][C]=[τ]

And torque has dimensions

[τ]=[force×distance]=[MLT−2] [L]=[ML2T−2][\tau] = [\text{force} \times \text{distance}] = [MLT^{-2}]\,[L] = [ML^2T^{-2}][τ]=[force×distance]=[MLT−2][L]=[ML2T−2]

So,

(D)→(I)(D) \to (I)(D)→(I)
  1. Final matching
(A)−(III),(B)−(II),(C)−(IV),(D)−(I)(A)-(III), \quad (B)-(II), \quad (C)-(IV), \quad (D)-(I)(A)−(III),(B)−(II),(C)−(IV),(D)−(I)

This corresponds to Option A.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = A

Our derived answer = A

So, the answer agrees with the stored answer.
