Which SI prefix represents 10⁻⁶?
A. pico
B. micro
C. nano
D. milli

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Micro (μ) denotes 10⁻⁶ in SI system. Nano = 10⁻⁹, pico = 10⁻¹², milli = 10⁻³. Standard prefixes: kilo(10³), milli(10⁻³), micro(10⁻⁶), nano(10⁻⁹). Memory aid: 'Micro = millionth; μm = micrometer = 10⁻⁶ m'. Frequently tested for unit conversion proficiency in competitive exams.

The dimensional formula of angular momentum is:
A. [MLT⁻¹]
B. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
C. [ML²T⁻¹]
D. [ML²T⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Angular momentum L = r × p. Position r has [L], linear momentum p = mv has [MLT⁻¹], so L has [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. This matches Planck's constant dimensions. Option A is linear momentum; C is energy/torque; D is dimensionless. Memory aid: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; same as action quantities'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive formulas, crucial for competitive exams. Always break down compound quantities into fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) for verification and problem-solving.
