Questions
A dc ammeter and a hot wire ammeter are connected to a circuit in series. When a direct current is passed through circuit, the dc ammeter shows 6 A. When ac current flows through circuit, the ac ammeter shows 8 A. What will be reading of each ammeter if dc and ac currents flow simultaneously through the circuit?
detailed solution
Correct option is A
Resultant current is superposition of two currents, i.e., I (instantaneous total current) = 6+I0 sin ωt dc ammeter will read average value=6+I0sinωt=6 (∴I0sinωt=0)ac ammeter will read=6+I0sinωt2=36+12I0sinωt+I02sin2ωt¯ ∴I0sinωt=0Since sin2 ωt=12 and Irms=8=I02⇒I0=82ATherefore, ac reading=36+I022=36+64=10ASimilar Questions
