Expert Answer:

Average value of a c is that

Average value of a.c. is that
value of a direct current which
sends the same charge in a
circuit in the same time as is

sent by the given alternating

current in its halftime period.

rms value of a.c. is that value

of a direct current which
produces the same heating
effect in a given resistor as is
produced by the given
alternating current when
passed for the same time.

Given:
ampere
Peak value of current,
I0=5 A
I=0.637 I0=0.637×5=3.185 A
I=0.707 I0=0.707×5=3.535 A
