    L, C and R represent the physical quantities inductance, capacitance and resistance respectively. Which of the following combinations have dimensions of frequency?
    (a)
    1RC
    (b)
    RL
    (c)
    1LC
    (d) C/L.
    digAnsr:   a,b,c
    Ans : (a) `` \frac{1}{RC}``
    (b) `` \frac{R}{L}``
    (c) `` \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}``
    The time constant of the RC circuit is given by
    `` \tau =RC``
    On taking the reciprocal of the above relation, we get
    `` {f}_{1}=\frac{1}{RC}`` ...(1)
    f1 will have the dimensions of the frequency.
    The time constant of the LR circuit is given by
    `` \tau =\frac{L}{R}``
    On taking the reciprocal of the above relation, we get
    `` {f}_{2}=\frac{R}{L}`` ...(2)
    f2 will have the dimensions of the frequency.
    On multiplying eq. (1) and (2), we get
    `` {f}_{1}{f}_{2}=\frac{1}{LC}``
    `` \Rightarrow \sqrt{{f}_{1}{f}_{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}``
    Thus, `` \sqrt{{f}_{1}{f}_{2}}`` will have the dimensions of the frequency.
