Single correct option
The frequency of the alternating current supplied for domestic use in India is
- A. 60 Hz
- B. 50 Hz
- C. 100 Hz
- D. 25 Hz
Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) 50 Hz
Alternating current in Indian households has a frequency of 50 Hz and a voltage of 220 V, which means the current changes direction 100 times per second. Sixty hertz is the standard in the United States. The figure of 100 is the number of reversals per second, not the frequency, which is a common trap in this question.
