Q

In a 60 Hz AC system, what is the duration in seconds for one complete cycle?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between frequency (Hz) and period (seconds per cycle) • The formula T = 1 / f where T is period and f is frequency • Unit conversion: 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second

💭 Think About

• If a signal has 60 cycles every second, how long does each single cycle last? • Use the formula for period from frequency and plug in 60 Hz—what number of seconds do you get? • Compare your result with the choices and watch the decimal placement carefully.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using seconds per cycle, not cycles per second • Double‑check that you performed 1 ÷ 60 correctly, including the decimal • Confirm your final number matches one of the choices both in value and units (seconds)
