An electric bulb rated as is connected to an ac source of rms voltage 220 V. The peak value of current through the bulb is:
- (A)0.64 A✓ Correct
- (B)0.45 A
- (C)2.2 A
- (D)0.32 A
Answer: (A)
Solution
The bulb is rated by its mean power, so the rms current is . The peak value of a sinusoidal current is times its rms value. The peak current through the bulb is .
