The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the time taken by the alternating current to reach its root mean square (RMS) value from \( t = 0 \). The given equation for the alternating current is: \[ I(t) = 10\sqrt{2} \sin(100\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \] ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Maximum Current (\(I_0\))**: The maximum current \(I_0\) is given as \(10\sqrt{2}\) A. 2. **Calculate the RMS Value (\(I_{rms}\))**: The RMS value of the current is calculated using the formula: \[ I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 10 \text{ A} \] 3. **Set the Current Equal to the RMS Value**: We need to find the time \(t\) when the current \(I(t)\) equals the RMS value: \[ 10 = 10\sqrt{2} \sin(100\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \] 4. **Simplify the Equation**: Dividing both sides by \(10\sqrt{2}\): \[ \frac{10}{10\sqrt{2}} = \sin(100\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \sin(100\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6}) \] 5. **Find the Angle Corresponding to \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)**: The sine function equals \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) at: \[ \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \] Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 100\pi t + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{4} \] 6. **Solve for \(t\)**: Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 100\pi t = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{6} \] To combine the fractions, find a common denominator (which is 12): \[ \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{12}, \quad \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{12} \] Thus: \[ 100\pi t = \frac{3\pi}{12} - \frac{2\pi}{12} = \frac{1\pi}{12} \] 7. **Isolate \(t\)**: Dividing both sides by \(100\pi\): \[ t = \frac{\frac{\pi}{12}}{100\pi} = \frac{1}{1200} \text{ seconds} \] ### Final Answer The time taken by the current to reach its root mean square value from \(t = 0\) is: \[ t = \frac{1}{1200} \text{ seconds} \]
