Correct Answer :

Solution :

The correct option is .

Let us analyze the dimensions of Resistance (R) and Inductance (L) to determine the dimensions of the ratio RL step-by-step.

First, we recall the relationship involving inductance (L). The electromotive force (emf) induced in an inductor is given by:
V=LdIdt
Thus, the dimension of Inductance (L) is:
[L]=[V]·[t][I]
where [V] is voltage, [t] is time, and [I] is current.

From Ohm's law, resistance (R) is defined as:
R=VI
Thus, the dimension of Resistance (R) is:
[R]=[V][I]

Now, let us find the dimension of the ratio RL:
[RL]=[R][L]=[V][I][V]·[t][I]=1[t]=T-1

Note: The standard inductive time constant is τ=LR, which has the dimension of time (T). Hence, RL has the dimension of frequency, or T-1. However, strictly following the provided correct answer of the question data, the designated correct option is .
