An alternating e.m.f. is given by e \(=e_{0}\) sin wt. In what time the e.m.f. will have half its maximum value, if 'e' starts from zero? (T = Time period) \((\sin 30^{\circ}=\cos 60^{\circ}=0 \cdot 5, \quad \cos 30^{\circ}=\sin 60^{\circ}\) \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\)

  1. A \(\frac{T}{12}\)
  2. B \(\frac{T}{16}\)
  3. C \(\frac{T}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{T}{4}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{T}{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{E_{0}}{2}=E_{0} \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right) \therefore \frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sin (\pi)}{6}=\frac{\sin (2 \pi t)}{T}\)
\(\therefore \frac{2 \pi t}{T}=\frac{\pi}{6} \therefore T=\frac{T}{12}\)
