JEE MainPhysicsUnits and MeasurementsMCQ+4 / −1
The pair of physical quantities not having the same dimensions is :
- AAngular momentum and Planck's constant
- BTorque and energy
- CSurface tension and impulse
- DPressure and Young's modulus
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Write dimensions of each quantity
We compare the dimensional formulas of the two quantities in each option.
Basic dimensions used:
- Mass
- Length
- Time
- Option A: Angular momentum and Planck's constant
(i) Angular momentum
Angular momentum is where momentum .
So,
(ii) Planck's constant
From we get
Now,
Therefore,
So both have the same dimensions.
- Option B: Torque and energy
(i) Torque
Torque
(ii) Energy
Energy (work)
So both have the same dimensions.
- Option C: Surface tension and impulse
(i) Surface tension
Surface tension
(ii) Impulse
Impulse
Thus,
These are not the same.
- Option D: Pressure and Young's modulus
(i) Pressure
Pressure
(ii) Young's modulus
Young's modulus
Strain is dimensionless, so dimensions of Young's modulus are same as stress.
Stress
So both have the same dimensions.
- Conclusion
Only Option C has quantities with different dimensions.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: C
My derived answer: C
They match.
