Dimensional formula of latent heat

Latent heat
[L2 T−2]
Written in full: [M⁰ L² T⁻² A⁰ K⁰]

How to derive it

Latent heat = Heat ÷ Mass

Put in the dimensions of each part: [ML²T⁻²] ÷ [M] = [L² T⁻²].

mass (M)
0
length (L)
2
time (T)
-2
current (A)
0
temperature (K)
0

SI unit

The SI unit of latent heat is J/kg.

Same dimensions as latent heat

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