    The dimensions of potential difference are

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

    B)  \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{2}}{{Q}^{2}}]\]

    C)  \[[L{{T}^{2}}Q]\]                             

    D)  \[[{{M}^{2}}L{{T}^{2}}{{Q}^{-1}}]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    It is clear that potential difference between any two points is the amount of work done, when a unit charge moves from one point to other \[V=\frac{\text{Work}\,\,\text{done}}{\text{Charge}\,\,\text{moved}}=\frac{W}{Q}\] Hence, the dimensions of potential difference \[=\frac{\text{Dimension of work done}}{\text{Dimension of charge moved}}\] \[=\frac{[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}]}{[Q]}\] \[=[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-2}}{{Q}^{-1}}]\]
