Shorter generation time of E. coil compared to eukaryotes may be explained on the basis of

A

Shape

B

Large surface : volume ratio

C

Presence of cell wall

D

Absence of organelles

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since the cell of E. coli is small and has larger surface area so that it is easy to replicate and thus it has shorter generation time.

An oscillating circuit consists of an inductance coil L and a capacitor with capacitance C . The resistance of the coil and the lead wires is negligible . The coil is placed in a permanent magnetic filed so that the total flux passing through all the turns of the coild is equal to Phi . At the moment t=0 the magnetic field was switched off. Assuiming the switching off time to be negligible compared to the natural oscillation paeriod of the cirucuit, find the circuit current as a fuction of time t
