JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 24th June Morning Shift - No. 11)

A resistance of 40 $$\Omega$$ 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 :
2.5 ms
1.25 ms
2.5 s
0.25 s

Explanation

$$I = {I_0}\cos (\omega t)$$ say

$$\Rightarrow$$ At maximum $$\omega {t_1} = 0$$ or $${t_1} = 0$$

Then at rms value $$I = {I_0}/\sqrt 2 $$

$$ \Rightarrow \omega {t_2} = \pi /4$$

$$ \Rightarrow \omega ({t_2} - {t_1}) = \pi /4$$

$$\Delta t = {\pi \over {4\omega }} = {{\pi T} \over {4 \times 2\pi }}$$

$$ = {1 \over {400}}s$$ or 2.5 ms
