Of the following quantities, which one has dimensions different from the remaining three?

A. Energy per unit volume

B. Force per unit area

C. Product of voltage and charge per unit volume

D. Angular momentum

Answer : Angular momentum

Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Dimensions of energy per unit volume}} \cr & = \frac{{{\text{Dimensions of energy}}}}{{{\text{Dimensions of volume}}}} = \frac{{\left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{L^3}} \right]}} = \left[ {M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}} \right] \cr & {\text{Dimensions of force per unit area}} \cr & = \frac{{{\text{Dimensions of force}}}}{{{\text{Dimensions of area}}}} = \frac{{\left[ {ML{T^{ - 2}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{L^2}} \right]}} = \left[ {M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}} \right] \cr & {\text{Voltage}} \times \frac{{{\text{Charge}}}}{{{\text{Volume}}}} = \frac{{\left( {\frac{W}{q}} \right) \times \left( {it} \right)}}{{{l^3}}} \cr & = \frac{{\left( W \right)}}{{\left( {{l^3}} \right)}} = \frac{{\left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ - 2}}} \right]}}{{\left[ {{L^3}} \right]}} = \left[ {M{L^{ - 1}}{T^{ - 2}}} \right] \cr & {\text{Angular momentum}} \cr & = \left( r \right)\left( p \right) = \left( r \right)\left( {mv} \right) = \left[ L \right]\left[ M \right]\left[ {L{T^{ - 1}}} \right] = \left[ {M{L^2}{T^{ - 1}}} \right] \cr} $$
So, dimensions of angular momentum is different from other three.
