Correct answer: B

  1. Given voltage and resistance

    V(t)=220sin⁡(100πt)V(t)=220\sin(100\pi t)V(t)=220sin(100πt) R=50 ΩR=50\,\OmegaR=50Ω

    Since the load is purely resistive, current is in phase with voltage:

    i(t)=V(t)R=22050sin⁡(100πt)=4.4sin⁡(100πt)i(t)=\frac{V(t)}{R}=\frac{220}{50}\sin(100\pi t)=4.4\sin(100\pi t)i(t)=RV(t)​=50220​sin(100πt)=4.4sin(100πt)

  2. Peak current

    The peak value of current is:

    I0=4.4 AI_0=4.4\text{ A}I0​=4.4 A

    We need the time for current to rise from half of peak to peak, i.e. from

    i=I02toi=I0i=\frac{I_0}{2} \quad \text{to} \quad i=I_0i=2I0​​toi=I0​

  3. Find time when current is half of peak

    I0sin⁡(100πt1)=I02I_0\sin(100\pi t_1)=\frac{I_0}{2}I0​sin(100πt1​)=2I0​​

    sin⁡(100πt1)=12\sin(100\pi t_1)=\frac{1}{2}sin(100πt1​)=21​

    In the rising part of the cycle,

    100πt1=π6100\pi t_1=\frac{\pi}{6}100πt1​=6π​

    Hence,

    t1=π/6100π=1600 st_1=\frac{\pi/6}{100\pi}=\frac{1}{600}\text{ s}t1​=100ππ/6​=6001​ s

  4. Find time when current is peak

    I0sin⁡(100πt2)=I0I_0\sin(100\pi t_2)=I_0I0​sin(100πt2​)=I0​

    sin⁡(100πt2)=1\sin(100\pi t_2)=1sin(100πt2​)=1

    Therefore,

    100πt2=π2100\pi t_2=\frac{\pi}{2}100πt2​=2π​

    t2=π/2100π=1200 st_2=\frac{\pi/2}{100\pi}=\frac{1}{200}\text{ s}t2​=100ππ/2​=2001​ s

  5. Time taken to rise from half peak to peak

    Δt=t2−t1=1200−1600\Delta t=t_2-t_1=\frac{1}{200}-\frac{1}{600}Δt=t2​−t1​=2001​−6001​

    Δt=3−1600=2600=1300 s\Delta t=\frac{3-1}{600}=\frac{2}{600}=\frac{1}{300}\text{ s}Δt=6003−1​=6002​=3001​ s

    Δt=3.33×10−3 s=3.3 ms\Delta t=3.33\times 10^{-3}\text{ s}=3.3\text{ ms}Δt=3.33×10−3 s=3.3 ms

  6. Option check

    • A: 7.2 ms7.2\text{ ms}7.2 ms ❌
    • B: 3.3 ms3.3\text{ ms}3.3 ms ✅
    • C: 5 ms5\text{ ms}5 ms ❌
    • D: 2.2 ms2.2\text{ ms}2.2 ms ❌

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
