Correct answer

A. 2.5ms2 . 5ms

Step-by-step solution

A 10Ω resistance is connected across 220V - 50Hz AC supply. The time taken by the current to change from its maximum

⇒i=i0sin\omegat⇒ i = {i}_{0}sin\omegat

When i=i0i = {i}_{0}

i0=i0sinωt1⇒ωt1=π2…(1){i}_{0} = {i}_{0}sin\omega{t}_{1} ⇒ \omega{t}_{1} = \dfrac{\pi}{2} \ldots ( 1 )

When i=i02i = \dfrac{{i}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}

i02=i0sinωt2⇒ωt2=π4…(2)\dfrac{{i}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} = {i}_{0}sin\omega{t}_{2} ⇒ \omega{t}_{2} = \dfrac{\pi}{4} \ldots ( 2 )

Time taken by current from maximum value to rms value, ⇒(t1−t2)=π2ω−π4ω=π4ω=π4×2\pif⇒ \left({t}_{1} - {t}_{2}\right) = \dfrac{\pi}{2\omega} - \dfrac{\pi}{4\omega} = \dfrac{\pi}{4\omega} = \dfrac{\pi}{4 \times 2\pif}

=18×50= \dfrac{1}{8 \times 50}

=1400sec= \dfrac{1}{400}sec

=2.5ms= 2 . 5ms
