Why is $220 \ V$ $AC$ more dangerous than $220 \ V$ $DC$?

  • A
    The $DC$ attracts
  • B
    Peak voltage for $AC$ is much larger
  • C
    The body offers less resistance to $AC$
  • D
    Due to some other reason

An alternating current is given by the equation $i = i_1 \cos \omega t + i_2 \sin \omega t$. The r.m.s. current is given by

$A$ 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).

The instantaneous value of current in an $A.C.$ circuit is $I = 3 \sin \left(50 \pi t + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \text{ A}$. The current will be maximum for the first time at
