Question 31 Mark
Write the definition of root mean square value of alternating current.
Answer
View full question & answer→The square root of the mean square of the instantaneous value of alternating curent is called the root mean square value $I_{ rms }$ of the current.
$I ^2= I _0^2 \sin ^2 \omega t$
