2. An alternating voltage volt is applied to a purely resistive load of . The time taken for the current to rise from half of the peak value to the peak value is
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 2. (d)
Solution:
- In an
resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.
So, current reaches its maximum value at
When current is half of its maximum value, then from Eq. (i), we have
So, instantaneous time at which current is half of maximum value is
Hence, time duration in which current reaches half of its maximum value after reaching maximum value is
