Question

Q. The no of particles crossing a unit area perpendicular to x-axis in a unit time is given by N=-D n2-n1/x2-x1 where n1 n2 are no of particles pre unit time, x is the distance. Find the dimension of diffusion constant 'D'

Solution

n=-Dn2-n1x2-x1D=-nx2-x1n2-n1
Dimension of n=number/area/time =L-2T​​-1
Dimension of n1,n2=number/volume = L-3
Dimension of x1 - x2 = difference between two position =L
D=L-2T-1LL-3=L2T-1
