\(I = I_0\sin \omega t\)
\(d = I^2R dt\)
\(dH = (I_0\sin \omega t)^2 R dt\)
\(d H = I_0^2R\sin^2 \omega t dt\)
The heat produced in a time T/2 is given by:
\(H = \int \limits_0^\frac T2 I_0^2 R\sin^2 \omega t dt\)
\(H = I_0^2 R \int \limits_0^\frac T 2 \sin^2 \omega t dt\)
\(H = \frac{I_0^2R}2[\frac T2 - 0]\)
\(= \frac{I_0^2R}2. \frac T2\) .......(1)
The rms value of AC is represented as:
\(H = I_{rms}^2R.\frac T2\) ......(2)
By equating equation (1) and equation (2), we get:
\( I_{rms}^2R.\frac T2 = \frac{I_0^2R}2 .\frac T2\)
\( I_{rms}^2 = \frac{I_0^2}2\)
\( I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt 2}\)
\( I_{rms} = 0.707 I_0\)
These values are measured by an ammeter and voltmeter that are used in the circuit.
