Problem 4.135

Find the effective value of current if its mean value is I0I_{0} and its time dependence is (a) shown in Fig. 4.34 ; (b) IsinωtI \sim|\sin \omega t|

Reveal Answer
(a) I=23I01.15I0I=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} I_{0} \approx 1.15 I_{0}; (b) I=π8I01.11I0I=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{8}} I_{0} \approx 1.11 I_{0}
