ΔQ = mL
where ΔQ is the heat
m is the mass of the body
L is the latent heat ( of fusion/vaporisation)
heat is energy and energy has the dimensional formula
LHS and RHS should have the same dimensions.So the dimensional formula of latent heat is
It is better to remember the dimensional formula of energy as it will come in handy in a lot of problems. Otherwise you can derive it using E = W = F.s
and F = ma.
