An AC ammeter is used to measure the current in a circuit. When a given direct current passes through the circuit, the ac ammeter reads 6 A. When another alternating current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads 8 A. Then the reading of this ammeter if DC and AC flow through the circuit simultaneously is:

1. 102 A

2. 14 A

3. 10 A

4. 15 A

An alternating current is given as i = icos \(\omega t\) - isin \(\omega t\). The value of rms current is given by:
1. \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(i_1+i_2\right) \)
2. \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(i_i+i_2\right)^2 \)
3. \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(i_1^2+i_2^2\right)^{1 / 2} \)
