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

0.0365 A

Step-by-step 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)=(V)/(\sqrt2* R)`

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

`I_(rms)=(17.0)/(\sqrt2*329.0)`

or

`I_(rms)` = 0.0365 A

Hence, the rms current is 0.0365 A
