1. An alternating current of sinusoidal waveform has an rms value of 10A. What is the maximum value
of the current? [Ans: 14.142A]
2. The following three sinusoidal currents flow into a junction:
i1=3√ 2 Sin(ωt), i2=5 √ 2 Sin (ωt+300) and i3=6√ 2 Sin(ωt-1200)
Find the time expression for the resultant sinusoidal current which leaves the junction. Draw the
phasor diagram. [Ans: 7.214 Sin(ωt-31.910)

5. Find the time taken for a sinusoidal alternating current of maximum value 20A to reach 15A for the
first time if the current starts from zero. The supply frequency is 40 Hz. [Ans: 3.37 mS ]
[Hint: i=20 Sinωt. When i=15 A, 15=20 sinωt => ωt=sin -1(15/20)= 48.590 =0.848 rad. Now,
ω=2πf=251.32 rad/sec. Thus t= 0.848/251.32 sec = 3.37 milliseconds]
