Calculate RMS Current



Formula

The formula to calculate the RMS current is:

\[ I_{rms} = \frac{P_{ave}}{V_{rms}} \]

Where:

What is RMS Current?

RMS current is the root mean square value of the current, which is a measure of the effective value of the varying current. It is commonly used in AC circuits to represent the equivalent DC value that would produce the same power dissipation.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the RMS current:

\[ I_{rms} = \frac{100}{50} = 2 \text{ amps} \]

The RMS current is 2 amps.
