Current in an ac circuit is given by i = 3 sin t + 4 cos
t then :
rms value of current is 5 A.
mean value of this current in one half period will be
if voltage applied is V = Vm sin t then the circuit must be containing resistance and capacitance.
if voltage applied is V = Vm sin t, the circuit may contain resistance and inductance.

Initial value of time is not given hence the mean value will be different for various time intervals.
If voltage applied is V = Vm sint then i given by equation (1) indicates that it is ahead of V by
where 0 <
< 90 which indicates that the circuit contains R & C.
