How Many Grams of Sugar in a Teaspoon?

Answer – When leveled, 4 grams of sugar equal one teaspoon. While the accurate measurement is 4.2 grams, nutrition labels usually round this off to 4 grams.

Explanation:

As a standard, one teaspoon holds approximately 4 grams of sugar when leveled.

Knowing this information can help one better understand how much added sugar they consume each day – simply because teaspoons are easier to visualize than grams.

First, one ought to look at the quantity of added sugar in each food item they consume. This can be obtained from the nutrition facts label on it. Then, they ought to convert this quantity into teaspoons based on the number of servings they consume.

For example, assume that a particular food you eat 2 servings of every day has 30 grams of added sugar per serving.

So you consume a total of 60 grams of added sugar from that food each day.

Now, convert this quantity into teaspoons:

We know that 4 grams of sugar = 1 teaspoon

So 60 grams of sugar = 60 / 4 = 15 teaspoons of sugar

If you are consuming 15 teaspoons of added sugar from just one food, imagine how much more you might be consuming from the other foods you eat in a day.

A circular coil with N1=5000 turns is made of a conducting material with resistance 0.0100 Ω/m and radius a=40.0cm. The coil is attached to a C=10.00μFC capacitor as shown in (Figure 1). A second coil with radius b=4.00cm, made of the same wire, with N2=100 turns, is concentric with the first coil and parallel to it. The capacitor has a charge of +100 μC on its upper plate, and the switch S is open. At time t=0 the switch is closed. (d) What is the direction of the current in the smaller coil at t = 1.26 msms? (e) What is the magnitude of the current in the smaller coil at t = 1.26 ms?
