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. **Understand the Current Components**: The total current \( I \) can be expressed as: \[ I = I_{DC} + I_{AC} = 5 + 10 \sin(\omega t) \] 2. **Calculate the RMS Value**: The effective (RMS) value of the total current \( I \) can be calculated using the formula for the RMS value of a combined current: \[ I_{rms} = \sqrt{I_{DC}^2 + I_{AC,rms}^2} \] 3. **Identify the RMS Value of the AC Component**: The RMS value of the AC component \( I_{AC} = 10 \sin(\omega t) \) is given by: \[ I_{AC,rms} = \frac{I_{peak}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2} \] 4. **Calculate the RMS Value of the DC Component**: The RMS value of the DC component \( I_{DC} = 5 \) A is simply: \[ I_{DC,rms} = 5 \] 5. **Combine the RMS Values**: Now substitute the values into the RMS formula: \[ I_{rms} = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (5\sqrt{2})^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{25 + 50} = \sqrt{75} \] 6. **Simplify the Result**: The square root of 75 can be simplified: \[ \sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = 5\sqrt{3} \] ### Final Answer: The effective value of the resulting current is: \[ I_{rms} = 5\sqrt{3} \text{ A} \] ---
