Alternating Current

Question:

In an AC circuit:

Options:

The average value of current in one cycle is zero

The average value of the square of current is zero

The average power is zero

The phase difference between voltage and current at resonance is π

Correct Answer:

The average value of current in one cycle is zero

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → The average value of current in one cycle is zero

In an AC circuit, the current oscillates between positive and negative sinusoidal wave. Over the one full cycle, the positive and negative areas cancels out, resulting in an average current of zero.
