Alternating Current MCQs with Answers

Alternating Current MCQs

The current whose magnitude and direction reverses periodically is known as alternating current. The current produced from AC generator i.e. induced current is nothing but alternating current whose magnitude depends upon the frequency of rotation of coil.

The frequency of alternating current is number of rotation of coil per unit time. On the basis of rotation of coil the magnitude of current reverses from positive to negative and so on. Domestic electric current in India has the frequency of 50 cycles/second. The equation of alternating current is given as,

R.M.S. current:

It is defined as the value of steady current that would dissipate the same power in a given resistance as that by the alternating current.
