COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

If instantaneous current is given by \(i=4 \cos (\omega t+\phi)\), then the rms value of current is

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(4 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Instantaneous current, \[ i=4 \cos (\omega t+\phi) \] Comparing with standard equation, \(i=i_{0} \cos (\omega t+\phi)\), we get \(\therefore\) Peak current, \(i_{0}=4 \mathrm{~A}\)…
