To solve the problem of finding the rms current in a 25 W lamp connected to an AC source with a peak emf of 100 V, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, voltage, and current For a resistive load (like a lamp), the average power (P) consumed can be expressed as: \[ P = I_{\text{rms}} \cdot V_{\text{rms}} \] where: - \( P \) is the power in watts (W), - \( I_{\text{rms}} \) is the rms current in amperes (A), ...
