AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Alternating Current

An alternating current is given by \(\mathrm{i}=(3 \sin \omega t+4 \cos \omega t)\)
A. The \(r m s\) current will be

  1. A \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} A\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} A\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} A\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i=(3 \sin w t+4 \cos w k) A\) \(\therefore\) Peak current, \(\mathrm{I}_0=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5 \mathrm{~A}\) \(\therefore \quad\) RMS current, \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} \mathrm{~A}\)
