Concept

A sinusoidal voltage can be expressed as:

\(v(t)=V_msin(ω t+ϕ)\)

where, Vm = Maximum value of input voltage

\(\omega={2\pi \over T}=\) Angular frequency

ϕ = Phase difference

T = Time period

Calculation

Given, Vm = 250 V

T = 36 ms

\(\omega={2\pi \over 36\times 10^{-3}}rad/s\)

\(-125=250sin(ω t)\)

\(\omega t={7\pi\over 6}\)

\(t={7\pi\over \omega}={7\pi\times 36\times 10^{3}\over 6\times 2\pi}\)

t = 21 ms

Mistake Points Remember that time should be always positive that's why sin-1(-0.5) = 7\(\pi \)/6 instead of \(\pi \)/6.
