  • ${[LT^{-1}]}$
  • ${[L^{-2}T^{2}]}$
  • ${[M^{-1}L^{-3} T^{2}]}$
  • ${[M^{-1}L^{-3} T^{2}A^2]}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Speed of light in vacuum is given by
$c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}$ or $ \mu_0 \varepsilon_0 = \frac{1}{c^2}$
${ \therefore \:\:\:\: [\mu_0 \varepsilon_0 ]= \frac{1}{[LT^{-1}]^2 } = [L^{-2} T^2]}$

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
