Question:medium
A direct current of \(5\text{ A}\) is superposed on an alternating current \(I=10\sin\omega t\) flowing through the same wire. The effective value of the resulting current will be:
A direct current of \(5\text{ A}\) is superposed on an alternating current \(I=10\sin\omega t\) flowing through the same wire. The effective value of the resulting current will be:
Show Hint
DC and AC components combine as:
\[
I_{\text{rms}}=\sqrt{I_{\text{dc}}^2+I_{\text{ac,rms}}^2}
\]
Never add amplitudes directly.
