NEET Physics SI Units MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following combinations about SI units and dimensional analysis is correct?

A

The unit for solid angle is steradian and has dimensions of area over the square of the radius.

B

The unit for plane angle is radian and it is dimensionless.

C

A dimensionally correct equation indicates the relationship between physical quantities, but does not guarantee its accuracy.

D

The SI unit of mass is kilogram, and it is defined in terms of the force exerted by gravity on an object.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Option A is incorrect as steradian is not expressed as area over radius squared; option B is misleading since the radian is a derived unit, not dimensionless; option D misrepresents the definition of the kilogram, which is based on physical constants, not gravity. Thus, only option C accurately reflects the principles of dimensional analysis.
