A length-scale $(l)$ depends on the permittivity $(\varepsilon)$ of a dielectric material. Boltzmann constant $\left(k_B\right)$, the absolute temperature $(T)$, the number per unit volune $(n)$ of certain charged particles, and the charge $(q)$ carried by each of the particless. Which of the following expression($s$) for $l$ is(are) dimensionally correct?

($A$) $l=\sqrt{\left(\frac{n q^2}{\varepsilon k_B T}\right)}$

($B$) $l=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\varepsilon k_B T}{n q^2}\right)}$

($C$)$l=\sqrt{\left(\frac{q^2}{\varepsilon n^{2 / 3} k_B T}\right)}$

($D$) $l=\sqrt{\left(\frac{q^2}{\varepsilon n^{1 / 3} k_B T}\right)}$

    A student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00\; cm$ and $7.05 \;cm$ mark of the main scale and $23^rd$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be

    An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment time for $100\, oscillations$ is measured by using a watch of $1\, second$ least count and the value is $90.0\, seconds$. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1\, mm$ and the value is $20.0\, cm$. The  error in the determination of $g$ would be  ........... $\%$
