Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 167

Question: Determine the rms value of a semi-circular current wave which has a maximum value of a.

Options:

A) (12)a

B) (3/2)a

C) (2/3)a

D) (1/3)a

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • The equation of a semi - circular wave is

    x2+y2=a2

    or y2=a2x2

    Irms=12aa+ay2dx

    Irms2=12aa+a(a2x2)dx

    =12aa+a(a2x2)dx=12a|a.2xx33|.a+a

    =12a(a3a33+a3a33)=2a23

    Irms=2a23=23a
