The $r.m.s.$ value of current for a variable current $i = i_1 \cos \omega t + i_2 \sin \omega t$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (i_1 + i_2)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (i_1 + i_2)^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (i_1^2 + i_2^2)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} (i_1^2 + i_2^2)^{1/2}$

An electric current has both $DC$ and $AC$ components. The $DC$ component is $8 \ A$ and the $AC$ component is given as $I = 6 \sin \omega t$. The $rms$ value of the resultant current is . . . . . . (in $A$)

Alternating current cannot be measured by a $DC$ ammeter because:

The $r.m.s.$ voltage of the waveform shown is......$V$

The alternating voltage is given by $v=v_0 \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$. When will the voltage be maximum for the first time?

The instantaneous values of current and voltage in an $AC$ circuit are given by $I = 6 \sin(100 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{4})$ and $V = 5 \sin(100 \pi t - \frac{\pi}{4})$. Then,
