Physics And Measurement Question 27

Question: Number of particles is given by n=Dn2n1x2x1 crossing a unit area perpendicular to X-axis in unit time, where n1 and n2 are number of particles per unit volume for the value of x meant to x2 and x1 . Find dimensions of D called as diffusion constant

[CPMT 1979]

Options:

A) M0LT2

B) M0L2T4

C) M0LT3

D) M0L2T1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[n] = Number of particles crossing a unit area in unit time = [L2T1]

[n2]=[n1]= number of particles per unit volume = [L?3]

[x2]=[x1] = positions

D=[n] [x2x1][n2n1]=[L2T1]×[L][L3] = [L2T1]
