Q3 of 51 Page 328

Two alternating currents are given by

and


Will the rms values of the currents be equal or different?


Equal.

The rms value of current is given by , where = peak value of current.


Since i1 and i2 have the same peak value of current = , their rms values will also be equal. (Ans)
