Practice MCQ for SSC, UPSC, RRB Exams

A. Direct Current A.
B. Peak Current B.
C. Alternating Current C.
D. None of the above D.

Correct Answer: B সঠিক উত্তর: B

Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

The term for the maximum value of electric current depends on the type of current:

Direct Current (DC): In DC circuits, since the current flows constantly in one direction, there's no concept of a maximum value. We simply refer to the current as its magnitude or its peak value, which is the same as the constant value of the current.

Alternating Current (AC): In AC circuits, the current constantly changes direction and magnitude over time. The term for the maximum value of electric current in an AC circuit is:Peak current (Ipeak).

It represents the highest absolute value (positive or negative) that the current reaches during one cycle of the AC waveform.
