Ex1. An alternating current has a peak value of 10A. Find the average value and r.m.s. value? Ans. Given Im = 10A

I a .v . = 0.637 I m = 0.637 10 A = 6.37 A


voltage produced by an a.c. generator has a peak value of 283V. IThe r . m . s . = 0.707 I m = 0.707 10 A = 7.07 A Calculate the instantaneous voltage when the coil is rotated to /3 rad Ex2. with respects to the magnetic field? Ans. Given Vm = 283V, = /3 rad

180 =
3
180 = 60 3

e = 283sin volt = 283sin60= 245 V Ex3. The instantaneous value of an alternating e.m.f. is given by e = 283sin(628.3 t) volt Calculate the frequency of above signal and the instantaneous voltage at t = 0.0075 second? Ans. Given Vm = 283V, = 628.3
= 2f

f =

628.3 = = 100 Hz or 0.1kHz 2 2 e = 283sin(628.3 t) volt (remember radian)

= 283V
