    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: [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    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
                \[\text{=}\frac{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ Dimensions}\,\text{of}\,\text{work }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ Dimensions}\,\text{of}\,\text{charge }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\,\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ Dimensions}\,\text{of}\,\text{current }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}\]
                            \[=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}{[IT]\,[I]}=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-3}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
