State with the aid of an example why an equation can be homogeneous but incorrect. Explain why an equation which is homogeneous with respect to units may be wrong. How can units be used to test the correctness of a physical equation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify and explain the concepts related to electrical physics, including equations related to capacitance, the energy stored in a capacitor, and other physical properties in electrical circuits. It requires a high-level understanding of physics principles and the ability to demonstrate reasoning through examples.
Answer
An equation can be homogeneous but incorrect if its physical relationship is wrong. Units test dimensional consistency, not correctness.
An equation can be homogeneous but incorrect if the units match but the physical relationship described is wrong. For example, F = ma^2 is homogeneous but incorrect. Units test dimensionally but not physical accuracy.
Answer for screen readers
An equation can be homogeneous but incorrect if the units match but the physical relationship described is wrong. For example, F = ma^2 is homogeneous but incorrect. Units test dimensionally but not physical accuracy.
More Information
Dimensional homogeneity ensures the units match across terms but doesn't check if the relationship accurately represents the physical phenomenon.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that because an equation is homogeneous, it's correct. Always verify the physical relationship.
