Question

An AC voltage, whose peak value is 17.0 V, is across a 329.0 Ohm resistor. What is the value of the rms current in the resistor?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0365 A

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Peak value of the voltage, V = 17.0 volts

Resistance of the resistor, r = 329.0 ohm

Now,

The rms current ($I_{rms}$) is given by the relation as:

$I_{rms}=\frac{V}{\sqrt2\times R}$

on substituting the respective values, in the equation, we get

$I_{rms}=\frac{17.0}{\sqrt2\times329.0}$

or

$I_{rms}$ = 0.0365 A

Hence, the rms current is 0.0365 A
