Question

The average value of alternating current over one complete cycle is ______.

विकल्प

• Equal to its peak value

• Equal to its rms value

• Zero

• Half the peak value

Answer 1

The average value of alternating current over one complete cycle is zero.

Explanation:

Since the AC current is sinusoidal, it has equal positive and negative values over one complete cycle. The sum of all instantaneous values cancels out, making the average current zero. However, this does not mean zero power dissipation.
