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:

$0.015\mu s(\frac{10^-^6s}{1\mu s})(\frac{10^9ns}{1s})$

= 15 ns

So, the answer is 15 nano seconds.
