Question
A current in circuit is given by
i = 3 + 4sin(ωt)
.
Then the effective value of current is?
Solution
The effective value of current, also known as the root mean square (RMS) value, for a sinusoidal function is given by the formula:
I_RMS = √(I_avg² + (I_rms_sin_component)²)
Where:
- I_avg is the average or DC component of the current, and
- I_rms_sin_component is the RMS value of the sinusoidal component of the current.
In the given current function i = 3 + 4sinωt, the DC component I_avg is 3 A and the peak value of the sinusoidal component is 4 A.
The RMS value of the sinusoidal component is given by its peak value divided by the square root of 2. So, I_rms_sin_component = 4/√2 = 2.83 A (approx).
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
I_RMS = √((3)² + (2.83)²) = √(9 + 7.9889) = √16.9889 = 4.12 A (approx).
So, the effective value of the current is approximately 4.12 A.
