Question

A particular electric current is made up of two components a 10 A, a sine wave of peak value 14.14 A. The average value of electric current is __________

(a) 0

(b) 24.14 A

(c) 10 A

(d) 14.14 A

The question was posed to me in quiz.

Question is taken from Advanced Problems on Two Port Network topic in division Two-Port Networks of Network Theory

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) 10 A

The best explanation: Average dc electric current = 10 A.

Average ac electric current = 0 A since it is alternating in nature.

Average electric current = 10 + 0 = 10 A.
