The r.m.s value of current in a 50 Hz A.C. circuit is 10 A. The average value of A.C. current over a cycle is

Options

  1. AZero
  2. B10 A
  3. C7.072 A
  4. D14.14 A

Correct answer

A. Zero

Step-by-step solution

The average value of a sinusoidal alternating current over a complete cycle is given by the integral of the current over one time period divided by the time period.

Iavg=1T∫0TI0sin⁡(ωt)dtI_{avg} = \dfrac{1}{T} \int_{0}^{T} I_{0} \sin(\omega t) dt

Since the area under the positive half-cycle is equal and opposite to the area under the negative half-cycle, the integral evaluates to zero.

Iavg=0I_{avg} = 0

The given values of r.m.s current and frequency are not required for this calculation.
