Calculate AC Current



Formula

The formula to calculate the AC Current (Iac) is:

\[ Iac = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R}} \]

Where:

What is AC Current?

AC Current (Iac) refers to the alternating current flowing through a circuit. It is calculated by dividing the power loss by the resistance and then taking the square root of the result. This metric helps in understanding the current flow in AC circuits, which is essential for designing and analyzing electrical systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the AC Current (Iac):

\[ Iac = \sqrt{\frac{P}{R}} = \sqrt{\frac{100}{50}} = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41 \text{ amps} \]

The AC Current (Iac) is approximately 1.41 amps.
