Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.
Explanation:
Power = Work/Time. Work has dimensions [ML²T⁻²], dividing by time [T] gives [ML²T⁻³]. Energy is [ML²T⁻²], force is [MLT⁻²], momentum is [MLT⁻¹]. This dimensional formula uniquely identifies power. Memory tip: Power = energy per second ⇒ dimensions include extra T⁻¹ factor. Frequently tested in dimensional analysis sections of competitive exams.
