In an AC circuit with resistance R and oscillating potential v = vm sinωt, the average current over a cycle is Correct Answer zero 

CONCEPT:

  • The oscillating potential of an AC circuit is given by

⇒ v = vsinωt

where 'vm' is the amplitude of the oscillating potential difference and 'ω' is the angular frequency

Important Points

  • The average current and potential difference in an AC circuit over a complete cycle are zero.
