The principle of homogeneity of dimensions states that every term in a valid physical equation has the same:

Answer: dimensions.

  • A dimensions
  • B magnitude
  • C units of mass
  • D algebraic sign

Correct answer: A. dimensions

Explanation: For an equation to be valid, all its terms must have identical dimensions.
