CIRCUIT is the same as the heat dissipated in DC circuit is called RMS value provided, both the AC and DC CIRCUITS have EQUAL value of resistance and are operated at the same time.Calculation:Given:Current = i(t) = (18 + 10 SIN ωt + 7 sin 2ωt)RMS value of current = \( \sqrt {{{18}^2} + (\frac{{{10}}}{\sqrt2})^2 +( \frac{{{7}}}{\sqrt2}}) ^2\) = 19.962 A ≈ 20 A Moving coil instrument (PMMC) always measures the average value of the signal provided.PMMC instruments are suitable for MEASURING only DC quantities whereas MI instruments are suitable for measuring both AC and DC quantities.
