Marcel · Answer 1

i = Imax sin2πft

given i = 180, Imax = 200, f = 50, t = ?

Put the give values in the equation above

180 = 200 sin 2πft

sin 2πft =.9

sin2π x 50t =.9

sin 360 x 50 t = sin (360n + 64)

360 x 50 t = 360n + 64

360 x 50 t = 64, (putting n = 0 for least value of t)

18000 t = 64

t = 3.55 ms.
