Answer:

0.017 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The period of a periodic signal is defined as the reciprocal of the frequency:


T=(1)/(f)

where

T is the period

f is the frequency

For the electrical power, the frequency is

f = 60.0 Hz

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the period:


T=(1)/(60.0 Hz)=0.017 s
