The derived SI unit of electric capacitance, the farad (F\text{F}), can be expressed in terms of fundamental SI base units as kgambscAd\text{kg}^a \cdot \text{m}^b \cdot \text{s}^c \cdot \text{A}^d. What is the numerical value of the sum of the exponents a+b+c+da + b + c + d?

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The numerical value of the sum of the exponents a+b+c+da + b + c + d is 3.
The farad (F\text{F}), when resolved into fundamental SI base units, is kg1m2s4A2\text{kg}^{-1} \cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{s}^4 \cdot \text{A}^2. Adding the exponents yields a=1a = -1, b=2b = -2, c=4c = 4, and d=2d = 2, giving a total sum of (1)+(2)+4+2=3(-1) + (-2) + 4 + 2 = 3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Relate electric capacitance to fundamental physical quantities
Capacitance is defined as C=QVC = \frac{Q}{V}, where QQ is electric charge and VV is electric potential difference.
This fundamental relation connects capacitance to charge and energy per unit charge.
2
Express charge and potential difference in terms of SI base units
Electric charge QQ has base units As\text{A} \cdot \text{s}. Potential difference V=WorkQV = \frac{\text{Work}}{Q} has base units kgm2s2As=kgm2s3A1\frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \cdot \text{s}^{-2}}{\text{A} \cdot \text{s}} = \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \cdot \text{s}^{-3} \cdot \text{A}^{-1}.
Work is force times distance (kgms2×m=kgm2s2\text{kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2} \times \text{m} = \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \cdot \text{s}^{-2}) and electric current is a fundamental base quantity.
3
Determine the base unit representation of the farad
The farad is expressed as Askgm2s3A1=kg1m2s4A2\frac{\text{A} \cdot \text{s}}{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \cdot \text{s}^{-3} \cdot \text{A}^{-1}} = \text{kg}^{-1} \cdot \text{m}^{-2} \cdot \text{s}^4 \cdot \text{A}^2.
Dividing the unit of charge by the unit of potential difference yields the derived base unit expression.
4
Calculate the sum of the exponents
a+b+c+d=(1)+(2)+4+2=3a + b + c + d = (-1) + (-2) + 4 + 2 = 3.
Summing the powers corresponding to kilograms, meters, seconds, and amperes gives the final scalar value.
