If an alternating current is given by $i = a \sin(\omega t) + b \cos(\omega t)$,then the $rms$ value of the current is

  • A
    $\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a + b}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{a^2 + b^2}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{a^2 + b^2}{\sqrt{2}}$

$A$ light bulb is rated at $100\;W$ for a $220\;V$ supply. Find
$(a)$ the resistance of the bulb;
$(b)$ the peak voltage of the source; and
$(c)$ the rms current through the bulb.

$A$ resistance of $20 \Omega$ is connected to a source of an alternating potential $V = 200 \sin (10 \pi t)$. If $t$ is the time taken by the current to change from the peak value to rms value,then $t$ is (in seconds).

If $i = t^2$ for $0 < t < T$,then the $r.m.s.$ value of the current is:

The electric current in the circuit is given as $i = i_{0}(t / T)$. The r.m.s current for the period $t = 0$ to $t = T$ is . . . . . .

An alternating voltage is given by $E = 100 \sin \left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \text{ V}$. The voltage will be maximum for the first time when $t$ is $(T = \text{periodic time})$:
