AC Basics: Peak, RMS & Average Values

The a.c. source of e.m.f. with instantaneous value 'ee' is given by e=200sin⁡(50t)e = 200 \sin(50t) volt. The r.m.s. value of current in a circuit of resistance 50 Ω50\ \Omega is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. I0=e0R=20050=4I_0 = \frac{e_0}{R} = \frac{200}{50} = 4 A
  2. Irms=I02=41.414≈2.828I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{1.414} \approx 2.828 A
  3. So the answer is (b) 2.828 A.
