The correct Answer is:
To find the effective value of the resulting current when a direct current (DC) of 5 A is superimposed on an alternating current (AC) given by \( I = 10 \sin(\omega t) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Current:** - The direct current (DC) component is \( I_{DC} = 5 \, \text{A} \). - The alternating current (AC) component is \( I_{AC} = 10 \sin(\omega t) \). 2. **Determine the RMS Value of the AC Component:** - The peak value of the AC current is \( I_0 = 10 \, \text{A} \). - The RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the AC current is given by: \[ I_{RMS, AC} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2} \, \text{A} \] 3. **Calculate the Effective Value of the Resulting Current:** - The effective value of the total current \( I_{total} \) when combining both DC and AC components is given by: \[ I_{RMS, total} = \sqrt{I_{DC}^2 + I_{RMS, AC}^2} \] - Substituting the values: \[ I_{RMS, total} = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (5\sqrt{2})^2} \] - Calculate \( (5\sqrt{2})^2 \): \[ (5\sqrt{2})^2 = 25 \times 2 = 50 \] - Now substitute back into the equation: \[ I_{RMS, total} = \sqrt{25 + 50} = \sqrt{75} \] 4. **Simplify the Result:** - The square root of 75 can be simplified: \[ \sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = 5\sqrt{3} \] 5. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the effective value of the resulting current is: \[ I_{RMS, total} = 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{A} \] ### Conclusion: The effective value of the resulting current when a direct current of 5 A is superimposed on an alternating current \( I = 10 \sin(\omega t) \) is \( 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{A} \).
