    From the following combinations of physical constants (expressed through their usual symbols) the only combination, that would have the same value in different systems of units, is: [JEE ONLINE 12-04-2014]

    A) \[\frac{ch}{2\pi \varepsilon _{o}^{2}}\]

    B) \[\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2\pi \varepsilon _{o}^{{}}Gm_{e}^{2}}\](\[{{m}_{e}}=\] mass of electron)

    C) \[\frac{{{\mu }_{o}}{{\varepsilon }_{o}}}{{{c}^{2}}}\frac{G}{h{{e}^{2}}}\]            

    D) \[\frac{2\pi \sqrt{{{\mu }_{o}}{{\varepsilon }_{o}}}}{c{{e}^{2}}}\frac{h}{G}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The dimensional formulae of \[e=\left[ {{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{1}}{{A}^{1}} \right]\]
    \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}=\left[ {{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{4}}{{A}^{2}} \right]\]
    \[G=\left[ {{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}} \right]\]and\[{{m}_{e}}=\left[ {{M}^{1}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}} \right]\]
    Now, \[\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}Gm_{e}^{2}}\]
    \[\frac{{{\left[ {{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{1}}{{A}^{1}} \right]}^{2}}}{2\pi \left[ {{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{-3}}{{T}^{4}}{{A}^{2}} \right]\left[ {{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}} \right]{{\left[ {{M}^{1}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}} \right]}^{2}}}\]
    \[=\frac{\left[ {{T}^{2}}{{A}^{2}} \right]}{2\pi \left[ {{M}^{-1-1+2}}{{L}^{-3+3}}{{T}^{4-2}}{{A}^{2}} \right]}\]
    \[=\frac{\left[ {{T}^{2}}{{A}^{2}} \right]}{2\pi \left[ {{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{2}}{{A}^{2}} \right]}\] \[=\frac{1}{2\pi }\]
    \[\because \]\[\frac{1}{2\pi }\]is dimensionless thus the combination\[\frac{{{e}^{2}}}{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}Gm_{e}^{2}}\]would have the same value in different systems of units.
