Using mass (
), length (
), time (
) and current (
) as fundamental quantities, the dimensions of permittivity are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Putting the dimensions for quantities in the expression containing
.
From Coulomb's law, two stationary point charges
and
attract/repel each other with a force
which is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance
between them
That is, 

Dimensions of permittivity
