Dimension Matching Explanation
This question requires matching physical quantities from List-I with their corresponding dimensions in List-II.
Dimensional Analysis
We determine the dimensions for each quantity in List-I:
- A. Spring constant ($k$): Defined by Hooke's law, $F = kx$. The dimension is force divided by displacement: $[k] = \frac{[\text{Force}]}{[\text{Displacement}]} = \frac{[\text{M L T}^{-2}]}{[\text{L}]} = [\text{M T}^{-2}] = [\text{M L}^0 \text{ T}^{-2}]$ This matches dimension II.
- B. Thermal conductivity ($\kappa$): Related to heat flow. Using Fourier's Law ($q = -\kappa A \frac{dT}{dx}$), where $q$ is heat rate (Power). $[\kappa] = \frac{[\text{Power}] \times [\text{Length}]}{[\text{Area}] \times [\text{Temperature}]} = \frac{[\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-3}] \times [\text{L}]}{[\text{L}^2] \times [\text{K}]} = [\text{M L T}^{-3} \text{ K}^{-1}]$ This matches dimension IV.
- C. Boltzmann constant ($k_B$): Relates energy per molecule to temperature, $E = k_B T$. $[k_B] = \frac{[\text{Energy}]}{[\text{Temperature}]} = \frac{[\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-2}]}{[\text{K}]} = [\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-2} \text{ K}^{-1}]$ This matches dimension I.
- D. Inductive reactance ($X_L$): For an inductor, $X_L = \omega L$, where $\omega$ is angular frequency and $L$ is inductance. The dimension of inductance $L$ is $[\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-2} \text{ A}^{-2}]$. $[X_L] = [\omega] [L] = [\text{T}^{-1}] \times [\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-2} \text{ A}^{-2}] = [\text{M L}^2 \text{ T}^{-3} \text{ A}^{-2}]$ This matches dimension III.
