    Using mass (M), length (E), time (T) and current (A) as fundamental quantities, the dimensions of permeability is:

    A) \[\Omega \]                      

    B) \[\Omega \]      

    C)       \[\Omega \]      

    D)       \[1:{{2}^{1/3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    According to Biot-Savarts law, the magnetic field due to current element \[idl\] distance r from P is \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{idl\sin \theta }{r}\] For  \[\theta ={{90}^{o}},\sin \theta =1\] \[\therefore \]  \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}idl}{4\pi r}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[{{\mu }_{0}}=\frac{B\times 4\pi {{r}^{2}}}{idl}\] Putting the dimensions, \[B=[M{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-1}}]\] \[r=[L]i=[A],dl=[L],\] we have Dimensions of \[{{\mu }_{0}}=\frac{[M{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-1}}][{{L}^{2}}]}{[A][L]}\] \[{{\mu }_{0}}=[ML{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-2}}]\] Alternative: Magnetic field due to straight solenoid is \[B={{\mu }_{0}}nI\] \[\therefore \]   \[{{\mu }_{0}}=\frac{B}{nI}\] \[=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}]/[AL]}{[{{L}^{-1}}A]}\] \[=[ML{{T}^{-2}}{{A}^{-2}}]\] Note: It is worth noting that constants such as 5, \[\pi \] or trigonometrical functions such as \[\sin \theta ,\cos \theta \] etc., have no units and dimensions.
