Question
An a.c. waveform given as v = 290sin ωt. If ω = 1256 rad/s, find the r.m.s and instantaneous voltages respectively at time 0.5s and the period.
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The peak voltage (Vp) is 290V. The RMS voltage (V_rms) is Vp / √2 = 290V / √2 ≈ 205.06V. The period (T) is 2π / ω = 2π / 1256 rad/s ≈ 0.005 s = 5 ms. Option A provides V_rms ≈ 205V and T = 5ms. The instantaneous voltage at t=0.5s is v = 290sin(1256 * 0.5) = 290sin(628). Since 628 radians is very close to 100 * 2π (628.3 rad), sin(628) is very close to 0. The instantaneous voltage provided in option A (-290V) implies a different time, but the RMS voltage and period match our calculation.
Hint
Recall the formulas for RMS voltage (Vp/√2) and Period (2π/ω) for a sinusoidal waveform.
