Question

The peak value of AC is $2\sqrt{2}\mathrm{Ampere}$. Its apparent value will be?

• A. $0$
• B. $1\mathrm{Ampere}$
• C. $2\mathrm{Ampere}$
• D. $3\mathrm{Ampere}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$2\mathrm{Ampere}$

Step 1: Given values.

The peak value of AC is $2\sqrt{2}\mathrm{Ampere}$

Step 2: We have to find the apparent value of AC.

Step 3: Calculations.

We know the formula,

$\mathrm{Apparent}\mathrm{value}=\frac{\mathrm{Peak}\mathrm{value}}{\sqrt{2}}$

By substituting the values, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Apparent}\mathrm{value}=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ =2\mathrm{Ampere} \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the apparent value will be $2\mathrm{Ampere}$, or option C is the correct choice.
