- A7.2 ms
- B3.3 ms
- C5 ms
- D2.2 ms
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Given voltage and resistance
Since the load is purely resistive, current is in phase with voltage:
-
Peak current
The peak value of current is:
We need the time for current to rise from half of peak to peak, i.e. from
-
Find time when current is half of peak
In the rising part of the cycle,
Hence,
-
Find time when current is peak
Therefore,
-
Time taken to rise from half peak to peak
-
Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ✅
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
