The dimensions of inductance/resistance \( (L/R) \) are the same as those of
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → time
The inductive reactance \( X_L=\omega L \) has the same dimension as resistance:
\( [\omega L]=[R] \)
Dividing both sides by \( \omega R \), with \( [\omega]=[\mathrm{T^{-1}}] \):
\( \begin{aligned} \left[\frac{L}{R}\right] &= \frac{1}{[\omega]} \\ &= [\mathrm{T}] \end{aligned} \)
Hence, \( L/R \) has the dimension of time. So henry per ohm is a second.
NCERT (2026-27):
AC Voltage Applied to an Inductor – “… The quantity ωL is analogous to the resistance and is called inductive reactance, denoted by XL:
\( X_L=\omega L \qquad (7.13) \)
… The dimension of inductive reactance is the same as that of resistance and its SI unit is ohm (Ω).”
