Dimensions of Electric resistance

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on deriving the dimensions of electric resistance, specifically the unit of resistance known as the ohm. Participants reference Ohm's Law (V = IR) to establish the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance. A correct formula for resistance is sought, with emphasis on understanding how to arrive at the dimensions using SI base units. One contributor successfully derives the dimensions as ML²T⁻³I⁻², indicating a grasp of the underlying physics. The conversation highlights the importance of clarity in understanding electrical concepts for students.

A simple derivation is only required.
Thanks in advance.

How have you tried approaching this ?
 
That does not look right to me...
Are you sure that is supposed to be the unit of electrical resistance (i.e. the ohm) expressed in SI base units?
 
I am so sorry!
This is not the correct formula. The correct one is this-

Now can i get to know how we have arrived at this?
I saw this question in a competitive exam. I'm a student of class 10 with very basic knowledge in the subject. However, i know that this equation basically gives us the relation between resistance and various properties of the conductor.

seeking for a description about this thing called "dimension of ohms".

Start with Ohm's Law: V = I R

R - resistance in Ohms
V - voltage
I - current

If you look up the derived units for voltage and current, applying Ohm's Law will give you the basic units for Ohms.
 
Ok i got a better way to do it. Have studied about the SI units and the derived units.
It has automatically taken me to the answer.
Thank you.
 
V=iR
R=V/i=w/Qi=w/it.t=ML2T-2/I2T=ML2T-3I-2
