In a circuit, the value of the alternating current is measured by hot wire ammeter as `10` ammeter. Its peak value will be

A

`10 A`

B

`20 A`

C

`14.14 A`

D

`7.07 A`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Hot wire ammeter reads `rms` value of current. Hence its peak value `=i_(rms)xxsqrt(2)=14.14 amp`
