उत्तर
Voltage across the electric bulb, E = 12 volts
Let E0 be the peak value of voltage.
We know that heat produced by passing an alternating current ( i ) through a resistor is equal to heat produced by passing a constant current `(i_{rms})`through the same resistor. If R is the resistance of the electric bulb and T is the temperature, then
`i^2RT = i^2_rms^{RT}`
`⇒ E^2/R^2 = E_{rms}^2/R^2`
`⇒ E^2 = E_0^2/2 (therefore E^2_rms = E_0^2)`
`⇒ E_0^2 = 2E^2`
`⇒ E_0^2 = 2xx(12)^2`
⇒ E02 = 2 × 144
`⇒ E_0 = sqrt(2 xx 144)`
`⇒ E_0 = sqrt(2) xx 12`
`⇒ E_0 = 1.4142 xx 12`
⇒ E0 = 16.9704
= 16.97 ≈ 17 V
Thus , peak value of voltage is 17 V.
