In electromagnetic theory, electric and magnetic phenomena are related to each other. Therefore, the dimensions of electric and magnetic quantities must also be related. In the questions below, $[E]$ and $[B]$ stand for dimensions of electric and magnetic fields respectively, while $[\varepsilon_0]$ and $[\mu_0]$ stand for dimensions of the permittivity and permeability of free space respectively. $[L]$ and $[T]$ are dimensions of length and time respectively. All quantities are in $SI$ units.
$(1)$ The relation between $[E]$ and $[B]$ is:
$(A)$ $[E] = [B][L][T]$
$(B)$ $[E] = [B][L]^{-1}[T]$
$(C)$ $[E] = [B][L][T]^{-1}$
$(D)$ $[E] = [B][L]^{-1}[T]^{-1}$
$(2)$ The relation between $[\varepsilon_0]$ and $[\mu_0]$ is:
$(A)$ $[\mu_0] = [\varepsilon_0][L]^2[T]^{-2}$
$(B)$ $[\mu_0] = [\varepsilon_0][L]^{-2}[T]^2$
$(C)$ $[\mu_0] = [\varepsilon_0]^{-1}[L]^2[T]^{-2}$
$(D)$ $[\mu_0] = [\varepsilon_0]^{-1}[L]^{-2}[T]^2$
