Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.5\, ms\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Considering sinusoidal \(AC\).

Phase at maximum value \(=\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Phase at rms value \(=\frac{3 \pi}{4}\)

Thus phase change \(=\frac{3 \pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}\)

\(Now \,\omega=2 \pi f\)

\(=2 \pi \times 50\)

\(=100 \pi\)

time taken \(t =\frac{\theta}{\omega}=\frac{\pi / 4}{100 \pi}=\frac{1}{400} s\) \(t =2.5 \times 10^{-3}=2.5\, ms\)
