Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: \( \frac{\text{A}^2 \text{s}^2}{\text{Nm}} \)
1. Concept:

Derived SI units can be unspooled into their fundamental base components using standard physics formulas.

2. Formula:

$$ C = \frac{Q}{V} \quad \text{where} \quad Q = I t \quad \text{and} \quad V = \frac{W}{Q} $$

3. Solution:

  • Start with Farad: \( \text{F} = \frac{\text{Coulombs (C)}}{\text{Volts (V)}} \).


  • Expand Volt (V = Joules/Coulomb): \( \text{F} = \frac{\text{C}}{\text{J/C}} = \frac{\text{C}^2}{\text{J}} \).


  • Expand Joule (J = Newton \( \times \) meter): \( \text{F} = \frac{\text{C}^2}{\text{N m}} \).


  • Expand Coulomb (C = Ampere \( \times \) second): \( \text{F} = \frac{(\text{A s})^2}{\text{N m}} = \frac{\text{A}^2 \text{s}^2}{\text{N m}} \).


4. Why other options are incorrect:

Options B, C, and D contain incorrect powers for the Ampere (A) or seconds (s) terms, failing the dimensional analysis derivation.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
