    Dimensions of resistance in an electrical circuit, in terms of dimension of mass M, of length L, of time T and of current I, would be

    A) \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-3}}{{I}^{-1}}]\]

    B)  \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    C)  \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}{{I}^{-1}}]\]

    D)  \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-3}}{{I}^{-2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Resistance \[R=\frac{\text{potential}\,\text{difference}}{\text{current}}=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{W}{qi}\]  (\[\because \]Potential difference is equal to work done per unit charge) So, Dimensions of R \[=\,\,\frac{[Dimensions\,of\,work]}{[Dimensions\,of\,charge][Dimensions\,of\,current]}\]\[=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}{[IT][I]}=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-3}}{{I}^{-2}}]\]
