JEE Advance - Physics (2021 - Paper 2 Online - No. 4)

A physical quantity $$\overrightarrow S $$ is defined as $$\overrightarrow S = (\overrightarrow E \times \overrightarrow B )/{\mu _0}$$, where $$\overrightarrow E $$ is electric field, $$\overrightarrow B $$ is magnetic field and $$\mu$$0 is the permeability of free space. The dimensions of $$\overrightarrow S $$ are the same as the dimensions of which of the following quantity(ies)?
$${{Energy} \over {Ch\arg e \times Current}}$$
$${{Force} \over {Length \times Time}}$$
$${{Energy} \over {Volume}}$$
$${{Power} \over {Area}}$$

Explanation

Dimension of electric field $$[E] = [M{A^{ - 1}}L{T^{ - 3}}]$$

Dimensions of magnetic field [B]

$$[B] = [M{A^{ - 1}}L{T^{ - 2}}]$$

Dimensions of magnetic permebility

$$[{\mu _0}] = [M{A^{ - 2}}{T^{ - 2}}L]$$

$$[S] = {{EB} \over {{\mu _0}}} = {{[M{A^{ - 1}}L{T^{ - 3}}][M{A^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}]} \over {[M{A^{ - 2}}{T^{ - 2}}L]}} = [M{T^{ - 3}}]$$
