Answer:
Hz
Explanation:
In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;
V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) —————–(i)
Where;
V = amplitude value of the voltage
ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]
Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.
Now,
From the question,
V(t) = 230 sin (100t) —————(ii)
By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;
V = 230
ω = 100
Ф = 0
But;
ω = 2 π f = 100
2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]
π f = 50
f = Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is Hz
