Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3.536 \mathrm{~A}, 4.167 \mathrm{~ms}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \(3.536 \mathrm{~A}, 4.167 \mathrm{~ms}\)
rms value of current
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{I}=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\
& \mathrm{I}=\frac{5}{1.414} \\
& \mathrm{I}=3.536 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}
\)
Time taken to reach the peak value of current
\(
\begin{aligned}
t & =\frac{\mathrm{T}}{4} \\
t & =\frac{1}{4 v} \\
\therefore t & =\frac{1}{4 \times 60} \\
\therefore t & \approx 4.167 \mathrm{~ms}
\end{aligned}
