An AC source producing emf
ε = ε₀ [cos(100 π s^–1)t + cos(500 π s^–1)t]
is connected in series with a capacitor and a resistor. The steady-state current in the circuit is found to be
i = i₁ cos [(100 π s^–1)t +ϕ₁] i₂ cos[(500 π s^–1)t + φ₂]

1.  i₁ > i₂ 

2.  i₁ = i₂ 

3.  i₁ < i₂

4.  the information is insufficient to find the relation between i₁ and i₂

An alternating current is given by 
\(i=i_1 \cos \omega t+i_2 \sin \omega t\)
The rms current is given by:

1.    \(\frac{i_{1}+i_{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\)

2.  \(\frac{\left|i_{1}-i_{2}\right|}{\sqrt{2}}\)

3.   \(\sqrt{\frac{i_{1}^{2}+i_{2}^{2}}{2}}\)

4.  \(\sqrt{\frac{i_{1}^{2}+i_{2}^{2}}{\sqrt{2}}}\)

An alternating current having peak value \(14\) A is used to heat a metal wire. To produce the same heating effect, a constant current \(i\) can be used, where \(i\) is:
1. \(14\) A
2. about \(20\) A
3. \(7\) A
4. about \(10\) A
