An alternating e.m.f. is $\mathrm{e}=\mathrm{e}_0 \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$. In what time the e.m.f. will have half its maximum value, if ' $\mathrm{e}$ ' starts from zero? ( $\mathrm{T}=$ time period)
  1. $\frac{\mathrm{T}}{12}$
  2. $\frac{T}{16}$
  3. $\frac{T}{4}$
  4. $\frac{T}{8}$

Solution

$\mathrm{e}=\mathrm{e}_0 \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$ If $\mathrm{e}=\frac{\mathrm{e}_0}{2}$ then $\frac{\mathrm{e}_0}{2}=\mathrm{e}_0 \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$ $\begin{aligned} & \sin \omega \mathrm{t}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \omega \mathrm{t}=30^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{6} \mathrm{rad} \\ & \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}} \cdot \mathrm{t}=\frac{\pi}{6} \\ & \mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{T}}{12}\end{aligned}$ ~
