Alternating current and voltage
Question

In a certain circuit current changes with time according to i=2\sqrt{t}  r.m.s. value of current between  t = 2 to t = 4s  will be

Moderate
Solution

\overline {{i^2}} = \frac{{\int_{}^{} {{i^2}dt} }}{{\int_{}^{} {dt} }} = \frac{{\int_2^4 {(4t)} dt}}{{\int_2^4 {dt} }} = \frac{{4\int_2^4 {t\;dt} }}{2}= 2\left[ {\frac{{{t^2}}}{2}} \right]_2^4 = \left[ {{t^2}} \right]_2^4 = 12

\Rightarrow {i_{rms}} = \sqrt {\overline {{i^2}} } = \sqrt {12} = 2\sqrt 3 \;A
