Units And Dimensions Question 9

Question 9 - 31 January - Shift 1

If $R, X_L$ and $X_C$ represent resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance. Then which of the following is dimensionless:

(1) $RX_L X_C$

(2) $\frac{R}{\sqrt{X_L X_C}}$

(3) $\frac{R}{X_L X_C}$

(4) $R \frac{X_L}{X_C}$

Show Answer

Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Dimensional equation

All three have same dimension therefore $\frac{R}{\sqrt{X_L X_C}}$

is dimensionless.
