MCQ
From the following, the quantity ( constructed from the basic constants of nature), that has the dimensions, as well as correct order of magnitude, vis-a-vis typical atomic size, is
  • $\frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}m{c^2}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{e^2}}}{{m{e^2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{m{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{b^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}m{c^2}}}{{{e^2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}m{c^2}}}$
a
As $\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{mc}^{2}$

also $\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{F} \cdot \mathrm{s}=\frac{\mathrm{k} q \cdot \mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \cdot \mathrm{r}$

Therefore dimensionally

$\mathrm{mc}^{2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \in_{0}} \frac{\mathrm{q}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \in_{0} m c^{2}}$
