Can someone help me with physics? I dont get any anwer in physic forum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go to physicforum.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This will last forever. It is not like sopenstudy. Please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's your question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the dimensions for electric charge? What are the dimensions for the electric field? Dimensions for potential? Dimentions for capacitance? They are a, b c question and I have to choose one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for electrica charge I can choose from: a) LQ^-1 b (Q^-2)/M c LT^-2 d Q e QT^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh what exactly do you mean by dimension ? What i know is that charge is the product of current and time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am translating from spanish. So I dont know if that is the way it must be translated into english. But I think we have to do is try to compose the electric charge by using elemental units like m, s, Kg, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok since charge = current * time , so the unit for current is Ampere whereas the unit for time is seconds, so the unit for charge comes out to be As -> if that is what you are asking for :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the above options that you have given what do L and Q indicate ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think they means length and charge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the correct answer is d) Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are asking for the unit of charge then that will be Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you give the options for the second question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dimensions for electric field: a) LTQ b) (L^2)(T^-1)(Q^-1) c) ML(T^-2)(Q^-2) d) ML(T^-2)(Q^-2) e) ML(Q-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, L= Length T = Temperature Q = Charge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's M ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is e) coz E=F/Q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

electric field = force / charge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does force is made of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As far as i remember force = mass * g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be option c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i guess so , not sure about this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Lets try dimensions for potential energy a) (L^2)(T^2)(Q^2) b) M(L^2)(T^-2)(Q^-1) c) ML(T^-1)(Q^-1) d) MQL(T^-1) e) L(T^-1)(Q^-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm well let's see , potential energy = force * length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which means mass * acceleration * length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which further means mass * length^2 *time^-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

According to me the answer would be ML^2T^-2 , but this answer isn't in the options you gave
