An ac ammeter is used to measure currnet...

An ac ammeter is used to measure currnet in a circuit. When a given direct current passes through the circuit. The ac ammeter reads 3 A. When another alternating current passes through the circuit, the ac ammeter reads 4A. Then find the reading of this ammeter (inA), if dc and ac flow through the circuit simultaneously.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
5

Ar an instant current in the circuit is
`i=3+4sqrt2 sin omegat`
Reading of ammeter is `lt i gt =sqrt((1)/(T)int_(0)^(T)i^(2)dt)`
