If , E and t represent the free space permittivity, electric field and time respectively, then the unit of Et will be :
- Am
- A/m
- A/m2
- Am2
Answer
(3) A/m2
Solution
Displacement current: id = 0 d Edt = 0 d(EA)dt
0 Et has the unit of idA, i.e., current per unit area.
Check: unit of 0 = C2 N-1 m-2, unit of E = N C-1
unit of 0 Et = C2 N-1 m-2 N C-1s = Cs m2
Unit = A/m2
Answer: (3)
