Question 1 Report

If p \(\alpha \frac{I}{Q}\) which of the following is true?
Answer Details
Given that p \(\alpha \frac{I}{Q}\), where \(\alpha\) means 'is proportional to'. To determine the relationship between q and p, we need to manipulate the equation so that q is isolated on one side. We can write p = k\(\frac{I}{Q}\), where k is the constant of proportionality. Multiplying both sides by Q, we get pQ = kI. Dividing both sides by p, we get Q = \(\frac{k}{p}\)I. Since k is a constant of proportionality, we can write it as k = cp for some other constant c. Therefore, Q = \(\frac{c}{p}\)I. This means that q is inversely proportional to p. So, the correct option is q \(\alpha \frac{1}{p}\).
