An alternating current is given by . The r.m.s current will be
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
The given alternating current is
-
The rms value is defined as So first, square the current:
-
Expanding,
-
Now take average over one complete cycle:
-
Therefore,
-
Hence the rms current is
-
Comparing with the options:
- A: incorrect
- B: correct
- C: incorrect
- D: incorrect
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.
