An alternating current represented by the equation i= 4,5 sin (100×pie×t) flows through a certain series circuit. The time period is 0,02 seconds. It takes t = 0,286 seconds for the current to reach its maximum. The magnitude of instantaneous current after 1 ms is 2,154 A. Calculate the time it takes current to reach 3,75A

1 answer

To calculate the time it takes for the current to reach 3.75A, we can use the equation for the instantaneous current:

i = 4.5 sin (100πt)

Given that the magnitude of the instantaneous current after 1ms is 2.154A, we can substitute this value into the equation:

2.154 = 4.5 sin (100π * (1/1000))

Simplifying the equation:

2.154 = 4.5 sin (π/500)

Using a calculator to find the inverse sine of 2.154/4.5:

0.491 = π/500

Multiplying both sides by 500 and dividing by π:

0.491 * 500 / π = t

t ≈ 7.82ms

Therefore, it takes approximately 7.82ms for the current to reach 3.75A.
