Alternating Current

Question:

The maximum value of a voltage is 25 volts and it is attained in 24 milliseconds in case of an inductor. At what time does current reach its maximum value?

Options:

6 msec

24 msec

36 msec

30 msec

Correct Answer:

30 msec

Explanation:

Phase difference between current and voltage is 90º or one fourth of time perod.

Current reaches its maximum value later than the voltage by one-fourth of a period. 

1/4(24 msec) = 6 msec

The current reaches the maximum value at : T = 24 msec + 6 msec = 30 msec
