TOPIC: ALTERNATING CURRENT

Q1. An alternating current is that whose magnitude changes


continuously with time and direction reverses periodically why the
current that flows with same magnitude in same direction is direct
current

it read

(ii) If T is the time period of given alternating current, then how much time it requires to
reach its peak value starting from zero

per second and amplitude 100?
