Current electricityClass 12, Current Electricity
Dimensional formula of Electrochemical equivalent
[M T-1 A-1]
Mass deposited per unit charge in electrolysis.
How to get the dimensional formula of electrochemical equivalent
- Start from the definition: electrochemical equivalent = mass / electric charge.
- electric charge = electric current × time, so electric charge is [A] × [T] = [T A].
- Put in the dimension of each part: [M] / [T A].
- Add the powers of each base quantity: [M T-1 A-1].
