MCQ
$L,\, C$ and $R$ denote inductance, capacitance and resistance respectively. Pick out the combination which does not have the dimensions of frequency
  • A
    $\frac{1}{{RC}}$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{L}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {LC} }}$
  • $\frac{C}{L}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{C}{L}$
d
(d) For $RC$ circuits, time constant is,

$\tau=R C$ has unit of time,

so, $\frac{1}{R C}$ has a unit of frequency,

similary for $LC$ oscillations, $\tau=\sqrt{L C}$

for $RL$ circuit, $\tau=\frac{L}{R}$

so,

$\frac{1}{R C}, \frac{R}{L}$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}$ has units of frequency.
