MCQ
The frequency of A.C mains in India is.
  • A
    30Hz
  • B
    50Hz
  • C
    60Hz
  • D
    120Hz

Answer

  1. 50Hz

Explanation:

In India, the AC mains supply is referred to as single-phase alternating current and corresponds to a voltage of 230 V at a frequency of 50Hz, similar to most European countries. Whereas in the USA, AC mains supply uses 60Hz.
