JEE Physics 2025 Question with Solution

Given: The quantity is the ratio of electric dipole moment to magnetic dipole moment.

Find: The values of $P$ and $Q$ in $[M^P L^2 T^{-3} A^Q]$.

Electric dipole moment is

$$\vec{p} = q \cdot \vec{d}$$

Since charge has dimensions $[AT]$ and displacement has dimensions $[L]$, the dimensions of electric dipole moment are

$$[p] = [M^0 L^1 T^1 A^1]$$

Magnetic dipole moment is

$$\vec{m} = I \cdot A$$

where current has dimensions $[A]$ and area has dimensions $[L^2]$. Hence,

$$[m] = [M^0 L^2 T^0 A^1]$$

Therefore, the ratio has dimensions

$$\left[ \frac{p}{m} \right] = \frac{[M^0 L^1 T^1 A^1]}{[M^0 L^2 T^0 A^1]} = [M^0 L^{-1} T^1 A^0]$$

The provided the solution concludes that the correct option is D, corresponding to $0, -1$. It also contains inconsistent dimensional transcription in the intermediate comparison with the printed form $[M^P L^2 T^{-3} A^Q]$.

Therefore, taking the source solution's final conclusion, the correct option is D.

Given: Electric dipole moment $\vec{P} = q \cdot \vec{l}$ and magnetic dipole moment $\vec{M} = I \cdot A$.

Find: The values of $P$ and $Q$.

The second extracted approach states that on comparing dimensions of the ratio, one gets values leading to

$$P = 1, \qquad Q = -1$$

and then says the correct answer is option (4).

This extracted approach is internally inconsistent because option (4) is $0, -1$, not $1, -1$. Since the solution explicitly marks The Correct Option is D, the authoritative answer from the solution's is D.
