A resistance of 40 Ω is connected to a source of alternating current rated 220 V , 50 Hz . Find the time taken by the current to change from its maximum value to the rms value :
Options
- A2 . 5   ms
- B1 . 25   ms
- C2 . 5   s
- D0 . 25   s
Correct answer
A. 2 . 5   ms
Step-by-step solution
The current in AC is of the form of i = i 0 sin ω t . The maximum current is i 0 and rms current is i 0 2 . The change in the phase when current change from maximum to rms value is π 4   rad . Therefore, the time taken for the same will be, t = ∆ ϕ ω = π 4 × 2 π × 50 = 2 . 5   ms .
