Dimensional formula of activity

Activity
[T−1]
Written in full: [M⁰ L⁰ T⁻¹ A⁰ K⁰]

How to derive it

Activity = Number of nuclei decaying ÷ Time

Put in the dimensions of each part: [M⁰L⁰T⁰] ÷ [T] = [T⁻¹].

SI unit

The SI unit of activity is becquerel (Bq).

Same dimensions as activity

These quantities have exactly the same dimensions, a favourite trick in JEE and NEET "which pair has the same dimensions" questions:
