NEET 2026 Physics Peak Value Calculation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The peak value of an alternating current is 5 Å and frequency is 60 Hz. How long will the current, starting from zero, take to reach the peak value?

A

1/120 s

B

1/60 s

C

1/30 s

D

1/240 s

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Alternating current, i = iₚₑₐₖ sin(ωt) where ω = 2πf = 2π × 60 = 120π rad/s. At peak value, sin(120πt) = 1, which gives 120πt = π/2. Solving for t gives t = 1/240 s.
