Alternating Current

Question:

An ac source has a frequency of 60 Hz. The time taken for the voltage to change from peak value to zero is:

Options:

$\frac{1}{240}s$

$\frac{1}{120}s$

$\frac{1}{60}s$

$\frac{1}{180}s$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{240}s$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $\frac{1}{240}s$

The time period (T) is given by -

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{60}$

∴ Time taken, $t=\frac{T}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{60}}{4}=\frac{1}{240}s$
