Answer
View full question & answer→An alternating emf, E = 200sin(314.2t) volt is applied between the terminals of an electric bulb whose filament has a resistance of 100Ω.
We have to calculate the value of
Comparing to E = E₀sin(ωt)
We get, E₀ = 200 volt , ω = 100π
We know from Ohm's law, V = iR
\(i_0=\frac{E_0}{R}=\frac{200}{100}=2 A\)
[ here resistance of filament is R = 100Ω. ]
Now RMS current is given by,
\(I _{ rms }=\frac{ I _0}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2} A\)
Therefore the RMS current is √2 A.
B) We get, ω = 100π
We know, ω = 2πη , here η is the frequency of AC signal.
∴ 100π = 2πη
⇒ η = 50 Hz
Therefore the frequency of AC signal is 50 Hz.
C) We know, Period is the time taken to complete one cycle.
period, \(T=\frac{1}{\eta}=\frac{1}{50}=0.02 s\)
Therefore the period of AC signal is 0.02 sec.
