Question

Distinguish between the terms ‘effective value’ and peak value of alternating current.

✓

Answer

Alternating current changes in magnitude as well as direction. The maximum value of the alternating current is called the peak value. It is denoted by $I_0.$ The square root of mean square value of current is called the ‘effective value’ or ‘rms value’ of current. The two are related by
Effective value, $\text{E}_{\text{eff}}=\frac{\text{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$

A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude $10^{-29} C m$. A mole of this substance is polarised (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude $10^6 V m ^{-1}$.

For simplicity, assume $100 \%$ polarisation of the sample.
