    Dimensional formula for entropy is identical to that of

    A)  universal gas constant

    B)  specific heat

    C)  Boltzmann constant

    D)  gravitational potential

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[\text{Entropy}=\frac{\text{Heat}\,\text{absorbed}}{\text{Temperature}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[S=\frac{Q}{T}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[[S]=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{K}^{-1}}]\] Also,      \[E=\frac{1}{2}{{k}_{B}}T\]where \[{{k}_{B}}\] is Boltzmann constant. \[\Rightarrow \] \[[{{k}_{B}}]=\frac{[E]}{[T]}=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}{[K]}=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{K}^{-1}}]\] Hence, dimensional formula of entropy is same as that of Boltzmann constant.
