Dimensional Analysis
-
Checking Equation Correctness:
- Determine dimensions of each term in the equation.
- Check if the dimensions on the left-hand side (L.H.S) are equal to the dimensions on the right-hand side (R.H.S).
- If they are equal, the equation is dimensionally correct.
-
Deriving Equations:
- Determine the dimensions of the quantities involved.
- Use the principle of dimensional homogeneity – the dimensions on both sides of an equation must be the same.
- This allows you to find the relationships between the quantities.
