Question

If a computer chip switches off -on-off in 0.015 us, what is the switching time in nanoseconds?

Answer 1

Answer:- 15 nano seconds.

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem where we are asked to convert
`0.015\mu s` to nano seconds, where
`\mu s` stands for micro seconds.

We will convert micro seconds to seconds and then seconds to nanon seconds.

The conversion factors required here are:

`1\mu s=10^-^6s`]

and,
`1s=10^9ns`

The set up is made as:

`0.015\mu s((10^-^6s)/(1\mu s))((10^9ns)/(1s))`

= 15 ns

So, the answer is 15 nano seconds.
