An ideal sinusoidal voltage source v(t) = 230√2 sin(2π × 50t) V feeds an ideal inductor L through an ideal SCR with firing angle α = 0°. If L = 100 mH, then the peak of the inductor current, in ampere, is closest to.

  1. 20.71
  2. 0
  3. 10.35
  4. 7.32

Correct answer: 20.71

Solution

The peak current through the inductor can be calculated using the relationship between the peak voltage and the inductance, considering the firing angle of the SCR. With a firing angle of 0°, the full peak voltage is applied across the inductor, leading to a peak current of approximately 20.71 A.
