The rms value of current in an ac circuit is 10A. What is the peak current ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Using the formula
`I_("rms")=(I_(0))/(sqrt(2))`
The prak value of current
`I_(0)=sqrt(2)xx I_("rms")`
`= sqrt(2)xx10 =1.414xx10`
`I_(0)=14.14 A`

The electric current 'i' in the given circuit is

An AC circuit contains a resistance R, an inductance L and a capacitance C connected in series across an alternator of constant voltage and variable frequency. At resonant frequency, it is found that the inductive reactance, the capacitive reactance and the resistance are equal and the current in the circuit is i_(0) . Find the current in the circuit at a frequency twice that of the resonant frequency.
