उत्तर
RMS value of voltage, Erms = 220 V,
Frequency of alternating current, f = 50 Hz
(a) Peak value of voltage `(E_0)` is given by,
`E_0 = E_{rms] sqrt2`
where Erms = root mean square value of voltage
`E_0 = E_{rms} sqrt2`
`⇒ E_0 =sqrt2xx220`
`⇒ E_0 = 311.08 V = 311 V`
(b) Voltage (E) is given by,
`E = E_0 sin omegat,`
where E0 = peak value of voltage
Time taken for the current to reach zero from the rms value = Time taken for the current to reach the rms value from zero
In one complete cycle, current starts from zero and again reaches zero.
So, first we need to find the time taken for the current to reach the rms value from zero.
`As E = E_0/sqrt2`
`⇒ E_0/sqrt2 = E_0 sin omega t`
`⇒ t = pi/(4 omega) = pi/(4xx2pif)`
`⇒ t = pi/(8pi50) = 1/400`
⇒ t = 2.5 ms
Thus, the least possible time in which voltage can change from the rms value to zero is 2.5 ms.
