Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 22 January (Evening Shift)

If , E and t represent the free space permittivity, electric field and time respectively, then the unit of Et will be :

  1. Am
  2. A/m
  3. A/m2
  4. Am2

Answer

(3) A/m2

Solution

Displacement current: id = 0 d Edt = 0 d(EA)dt

0 Et has the unit of idA, i.e., current per unit area.

Check: unit of 0 = C2 N-1 m-2, unit of E = N C-1

unit of 0 Et = C2 N-1 m-2 N C-1s = Cs m2

Unit = A/m2

Answer: (3)
