  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses a homework problem involving finding the inductance of a circuit with given values for period, frequency, and capacitance. The person is unsure if their conversion and calculation are correct and asks for confirmation. Another person suggests the use of the impedance equation for a capacitor and the conversation concludes with confirmation that the conversion is correct.

Homework Statement



Well, I am not sure about my conversion and I need people to make sure I am doing it right.

I have a period, T, of 17.29 ms. To find the frquency it is 1/T= 57.836 s^-1. So the inductive is L=((1/(2*pi*frequency))^2)/C which C is 110*10^-6 and I got L=68.84 mh.

The lower case m are 10^-3 btw.

Can anyone make sure I did this right and the conversion...thanks!

I am not sure of this anymore but isn't the impedence of a capacitor = 1/(2*pi*f*C) ?

Well it doesn't matter if C is something or L is something...I just want to know what is L with the given values, more of plug and chug situation. I just want to know if I made my conversion right with the given equation.

well in that case, your conversion is correct.

FAQ: Checking Conversion Accuracy for Frequency and Inductance Calculations

What is meant by "conversion" in this context?

"Conversion" in this context refers to the process of converting one unit of measurement to another. This is commonly used when working with different systems of measurement, such as converting from metric to imperial units.

How can I check my conversion?

There are a few ways to check your conversion. One way is to use an online conversion calculator, which can quickly and accurately convert between units of measurement. Another method is to use conversion formulas, which can be found in textbooks or online resources.

Can I trust someone else to check my conversion?

It is always best to double check your own conversions, as you are responsible for the accuracy of your work. However, if you are unsure or need a second opinion, you can ask a colleague or mentor to check your conversion for you.

What should I do if I am getting different answers from different sources?

If you are getting different answers from different sources, it is important to check your conversion method and make sure you are using the correct conversion formula. You can also ask a more experienced colleague or seek help from a tutor or online forum to clarify any discrepancies.

Is it necessary to convert units of measurement in scientific calculations?

Yes, it is necessary to convert units of measurement in scientific calculations in order to ensure accuracy and consistency. Using the correct units is also important for communicating and replicating results in scientific research.
