The magnetic energy in an inductor changes from maximum value to minimum value in 5 ms . When connected to an a.c. source, the frequency of the source is
  1. 50 Hz
  2. 200 Hz
  3. 500 Hz
  4. 20 Hz

Solution

Magnetic field energy changes from maximum to minimum in $\frac{1}{4}^{\text {th }}$ time of a cycle $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{T}}{4}=5 \mathrm{~ms} \Rightarrow \mathrm{~T}=20 \mathrm{~ms} \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}=\frac{1}{20 \times 10^{-3}}=50 \mathrm{~Hz} \end{aligned}$ ~
