Options:
  • A $\quad V=165 \sin (100 \pi t)$
  • B $\quad V=331 \sin (100 \pi t)$
  • C $\quad V=220 \sin (100 \pi t)$
  • D $V=440 \sin (100 \pi \mathrm{t})$

The correct answer is: $\quad V=331 \sin (100 \pi t)$
$E=E_{0} \sin \omega t$
Voltmeter read rms value $\therefore E_{0}=\sqrt{2} \times 234 \mathrm{~V}=331 \mathrm{~V}$
and $\omega t=2 \pi n t=2 \pi \times 50 \times t=100 \pi t$ Thus, the equation of the line voltage $E=331 \sin (100 \pi t)$
