Hey, good to see you again. The equation for an alternating current is given as X = X_0 t. In this equation: X is the instantaneous current. X_0 is the amplitude or the peak current*. This is the maximum value the current reaches from the equilibrium position (the time axis). is the angular frequency. t is time. Looking at the waveform diagram: The horizontal axis represents time (t). The vertical axis represents current (X). The equilibrium position for the current is at X=0. Point P is the peak of the positive half-cycle. The distance from the time axis (where current is 0) to the peak (P) represents the amplitude. The segment PQ on the graph represents this vertical distance from the time axis (Q) to the peak current (P). Therefore, PQ represents X_0. The final answer is C. PQ. Send me the next one 📸
