An electric bulb rated as is connected to an ac source of rms voltage 220 V. The peak value of current through the bulb is :
- A0.32 A
- B0.64 A
- C0.45 A
- D2.2 A
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use the bulb rating to find the rms current
For a bulb rated , when connected to rms supply:
So,
- Relate peak current and rms current
For alternating current,
Thus,
- Match with the options
So the correct option is B.
