The average value of a.c. over a full cycle in an ac circuit is : (Given \( I_0 \) = Peak current)

  1. A zero
  2. B \( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} \)
  3. C \( I_0\sqrt{2} \)
  4. D \( \frac{2I_0}{\pi} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a full cycle, an alternating current flows in the positive direction for one half and an equal negative direction for the other. The net area under the \(I - t\) curve over one complete period is zero, making the mathematical average value zero. A) zero.
