उत्तर
The rms value of current is given as:
I = 10 A
Now, the peak current is given as:
`"I"_0 = sqrt2 "I"`
= `10sqrt2`
= 14.1 A

Answer the following question.
A small town with a demand of 1200 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 20 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wirelines carrying power is 0.5 Ω per km. The town gets the power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.
