Question

In M - L - t - T system, the dimension of thermal diffusivity is -

The correct answer is

L2 t-1

This system uses Mass (M), Length (L), time (t), and Temperature (T) as fundamental dimensions. Therefore, the dimension of thermal diffusivity in the M-L-t-T system is: A material with high thermal diffusivity will heat up or cool down quickly because heat energy diffuses rapidly through it. Therefore, the correct answer is L 2 t -1.
