Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2.5\, ms\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i = i _{0} \cos (\omega t )\)

\(i = i _{0}\) at \(t =0\)

\(i =\frac{ i _{0}}{\sqrt{2}}\) at \(\omega t =\frac{\pi}{4}\)

\(t =\frac{\pi}{4 \omega}=\frac{\pi}{4(2 \pi f )}=\frac{1}{8 f }\)

\(t =\frac{1}{400}=2.5 ms\)
