  1. A 50 Hz
  2. B 200 Hz
  3. C 500 Hz
  4. D 20 Hz
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 50 Hz

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field energy changes from maximum to minimum in \(\frac{1}{4}^{\text {th }}\) time of a cycle
\(\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{T}}{4}=5 \mathrm{~ms} \Rightarrow \mathrm{~T}=20 \mathrm{~ms} \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}=\frac{1}{20 \times 10^{-3}}=50 \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}\)
