PhysicsUnits and MeasurementNEET 2008

Which two of the following five physical parameters have the same dimensions? (a) energy density (b) refractive index (c) dielectric constant (d) Young's modulus (e) magnetic field

Answer: (4)

Solution

Energy density = energy / volume, so its dimensions are . Young's modulus = stress / strain = force per unit area (strain is dimensionless), so its dimensions are also . Hence (a) and (d)
