Q152 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Physics

An AC current is given by the expression, It=50sin200πt in amperes. The frequency and RMS value of the current respectively are

  • A
    100 Hz,502 A
  • Correct answer
    B
    100 Hz,252 A
  • C
    200 Hz,502 A
  • D
    200 Hz,252 A

Solution

Standard equation of the current variation in an AC supply can be written as,

I=I0sinωt, where I0=peak current and ω=angular frequency.

Comparing it with the given expression of current, we get

I0=50 A.

Therefore, RMS current

IRMS=I02=252 A

Similarly, ω=200π

⇒2πf=200π⇒f=100 Hz

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
