Read the passage below and answer following questions. The current through a wire depends on time as i=i0+3αt2, where i0=10A and α = 0.5 A/sec2. |
What is the average current for the interval t = 0 to t = 2 s ? |
15.6 A 11 A 6.3 A 12 A |
12 A |
$Charge , dq = Idt = (I_0 + 3\alpha t^2)dt $ $\text{Integrating both sides,}$ $ q = I_0t+\alpha t^3$ $\text {At t = 2 s Average Current = Total charge/Total time}$ $I_{av} = \frac{q}{t} = I_0+ \alpha t^2 = 10+0.5\times 2^2=12A$ |
