JEE MAIN - Physics (2025 - 7th April Morning Shift - No. 1)
Explanation
We can use Gauss’s law to analyze the dimensions. Gauss’s law states that
$$ \Phi_E = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}, $$
where
$$\Phi_E$$ is the electric flux,
$$q$$ is the electric charge,
$$\epsilon_0$$ is the permittivity of free space.
To find the dimensions of $$\epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$$, follow these steps:
Differentiate Gauss’s law with respect to time:
$$ \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_0}\frac{dq}{dt}. $$
Multiply the equation by $$\epsilon_0$$:
$$ \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} = \frac{dq}{dt}. $$
Recognize that the time rate of change of charge, $$\frac{dq}{dt}$$, is by definition the electric current.
Thus, the dimensions of $$\epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$$ are those of electric current.
The correct answer is: Option C, electric current.
