An alternating current is given by the equation $i = i_{1} \sin \omega t + i_{2} \cos \omega t$. The rms current will be

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(i_{1}^{2} + i_{2}^{2})^{1/2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(i_{1} + i_{2})^{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(i_{1}^{2} + i_{2}^{2})^{1/2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(i_{1} + i_{2})$
