The correct Answer is:
To find the time at which the current becomes maximum for the given AC circuit, we start with the equation of the current: \[ i(t) = 4 \sin(100 \pi t + 30^\circ) \] ### Step 1: Identify the condition for maximum current The current \( i(t) \) reaches its maximum value when the sine function equals 1. Thus, we need to solve for when: \[ 100 \pi t + 30^\circ = 90^\circ \] ### Step 2: Convert degrees to radians To solve the equation, we can convert degrees to radians. We know that: \[ 90^\circ = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] So we rewrite the equation: \[ 100 \pi t + 30^\circ = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Now, we can rearrange the equation to isolate \( t \): \[ 100 \pi t = \frac{\pi}{2} - 30^\circ \] ### Step 4: Convert 30 degrees to radians Next, we convert \( 30^\circ \) to radians: \[ 30^\circ = \frac{\pi}{6} \text{ radians} \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ 100 \pi t = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Step 5: Find a common denominator and simplify To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 6 is 6. Thus, we rewrite: \[ \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{3\pi}{6} \] Now we can perform the subtraction: \[ 100 \pi t = \frac{3\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( t \) Now we can solve for \( t \): \[ 100 \pi t = \frac{\pi}{3} \] Dividing both sides by \( 100 \pi \): \[ t = \frac{1}{300} \text{ seconds} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the time at which the current becomes maximum for the first time after \( t = 0 \) is: \[ t = \frac{1}{300} \text{ seconds} \] ---
