MCQ
Which of the following is not a dimensionless quantity?
- ARelative magnetic permeability $\left(\mu_{{r}}\right)$
- BPower factor
- ✓Permeability of free space $\left(\mu_{0}\right)$
- DQuality factor
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Permeability of free space $\left(\mu_{0}\right)$
c
$\left[\mu_{{}}\right]=1 \text { as } \mu_{{r}}=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{{m}}}$
$\left[\mu_{{}}\right]=1 \text { as } \mu_{{r}}=\frac{\mu}{\mu_{{m}}}$
[power factor $(\cos \phi)]=1$
$\mu_T{0}=\frac{{B}_{0}}{{H}}\left(\right.$ unit $\left.={NA}^{-2}\right)$ : Not dimensionless
$\left[\mu_{0}\right]=\left[{MLT}^{-2} {A}^{-2}\right]$
quality factor (Q) $=\frac{\text { Energystored }}{\text { Energy dissipated per cycle }}$
So $Q$ is unitless $\&$ dimensionless.

Two objects A and B are thrown upward simultaneously with the same speed. The mass of A is greater than the mass of B. Suppose the air exerts a constant and equal force of resistance on the two bodies:
- The two bodies will reach the same height.
- A will go higher than B.
- B will go higher than A.
- Any of the above three may happen depending on the speed with which the objects are thrown.
A small sphere of mass $m$ is dropped from a great height. After it has fallen $100\; m$ , it has attained its terminal velocity and continues to fall at that speed. The work done by air friction against the sphere during the first $ 100 \;m $ of fall is
