Statement I: The order of accuracy of measurement depends on the least count of the measuring instrument.

Statement II: The smaller the least count, the greater is the number of significant figures in the measured value.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I

Option B (Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I) is correct because both statements are true, but Statement II does not explain Statement I.

The method of dimensional analysis can be used to derive which of the following relations? Statement-I: Dimensions of constant of proportionality of constants can be derived from dimensional method
Statement-II: Numerical value of constant of proportionality can be found from experiments only The dimensions of torque are The physical quantity having the dimensions

\left[ {{\mathrm{M}^{ - 1}}{\mathrm{L}^{ - 3}}{\mathrm{A}^2}{T^3}} \right]

is A quantity X is given by

{\varepsilon _0}L\frac{{\Delta V}}{{\Delta t}},\;

{\varepsilon _0}

is the permittivity of free space, L is a length,

{\Delta V}

is a potential difference and

{\Delta t}

is a time interval. The dimensional formula for X is the same as that of
