    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

    A)  \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-3}}}{{\text{I}}^{\text{-1}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]          

    B)  \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]            

    C)         \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}{{I}^{-1}}]\]      

    D)         \[\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ M}{{\text{L}}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}^{\text{-3}}}{{\text{I}}^{-2}}\text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\]

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