Homework Statement



The dimensions for all sorts of energy must be equal.
Then the following should hold:
By E=Fs and E=VIt,
[Fs] = [VIt]
[M][L]2[T]-2=[V][Q]

Now, according to some online lectures I watched some time ago, the dimensions of time, length, and mass are the three fundamental dimensions and all other dimensions can be derived with the three. So I was wondering if I could simplify the dimension of the p.d. and the coulomb into the three dimensions.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I asked my high school teacher the other day and he said that the dimensions for the coulomb and p.d. are already the simplest...
