Correct Answer
A

1

Solution

The correct option is 1.

To find the value of a-2b+c, we first need to determine the dimensions of the expression 12ε0E2.

The expression 12ε0E2 represents the energy density (energy per unit volume) of an electric field in a vacuum.
Let us write the dimensional formula for energy density:
Energy Density=EnergyVolume

The dimensional formula for energy (which has the same dimensions as work, Force×Distance) is:
[Energy]=[ML2T-2]

The dimensional formula for volume is:
[Volume]=[L3]

Therefore, the dimensional formula for energy density is:
[12ε0E2]=[ML2T-2][L3]
[12ε0E2]=[ML-1T-2]

Comparing this with the given dimensional form MaLbTc, we get:
a=1
b=-1
c=-2

Now, we calculate the value of the expression a-2b+c:
a-2b+c=1-2(-1)+(-2)
a-2b+c=1+2-2
a-2b+c=1
