Two alternating voltage generators produ...

Two alternating voltage generators produce emfs of the same amplitude`(E_0)` but with a phase difference of `(pi)//3`. The resultant emf is

A

(A) `E_0 sin [ omega t+(pi)//3)]`

B

(B) `E_0 sin [ omega t+(pi)//6)]`

C

(C) `sqrt(3)E_0 sin [omega t+(pi)//6)]`

D

(D) `sqrt(3)E_0 sin [ omega t+(pi)//2)]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`E_(1)=(E_0) sin omega t, (E_2)=(E_0) sin [ omega t + (pi//3)]`
`E=(E_2)+(E_1)`
`=(E_0)sin (omega t +(pi//3)]+(E_0)sin omegat`
`(E_0) [ 2 sin {omega t+(pi//6)}cos (pi//6)]`
`= sqrt(3) (E_0) sin [omega t +(pi//6)]`.
