The correct Answer is:
To find the average EMF during the positive half cycle of an AC supply with a peak value \( E_0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Equation of EMF**: The instantaneous EMF \( E(t) \) of an AC supply is given by: \[ E(t) = E_0 \sin(\omega t) \] where \( E_0 \) is the peak value and \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. 2. **Determine the Time Period for the Positive Half Cycle**: The positive half cycle occurs from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = \frac{T}{2} \), where \( T \) is the time period of the AC signal. 3. **Set Up the Average Calculation**: The average EMF over the positive half cycle can be calculated using the formula: \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{1}{T/2} \int_0^{T/2} E(t) \, dt \] Substituting \( E(t) \): \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2}{T} \int_0^{T/2} E_0 \sin(\omega t) \, dt \] 4. **Factor Out Constants**: Since \( E_0 \) is a constant, we can factor it out of the integral: \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2E_0}{T} \int_0^{T/2} \sin(\omega t) \, dt \] 5. **Integrate the Sine Function**: The integral of \( \sin(\omega t) \) is: \[ \int \sin(\omega t) \, dt = -\frac{1}{\omega} \cos(\omega t) \] Therefore, we evaluate the definite integral: \[ \int_0^{T/2} \sin(\omega t) \, dt = \left[-\frac{1}{\omega} \cos(\omega t)\right]_0^{T/2} \] 6. **Evaluate the Limits**: Substitute the limits into the integral: \[ = -\frac{1}{\omega} \left( \cos\left(\frac{\omega T}{2}\right) - \cos(0) \right) \] Since \( \frac{\omega T}{2} = \pi \): \[ = -\frac{1}{\omega} \left( -1 - 1 \right) = \frac{2}{\omega} \] 7. **Substitute Back into the Average EMF Formula**: Now substitute this result back into the average EMF formula: \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2E_0}{T} \cdot \frac{2}{\omega} \] 8. **Relate Time Period to Angular Frequency**: Recall that \( T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \): \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2E_0}{\frac{2\pi}{\omega}} \cdot \frac{2}{\omega} = \frac{2E_0 \cdot \omega}{2\pi} = \frac{2E_0}{\pi} \] 9. **Final Result**: Thus, the average EMF during the positive half cycle is: \[ E_{\text{avg}} = \frac{2E_0}{\pi} \]
