If a direct current of $a$ ampere is superimposed with an alternating current $I = b \sin \omega t$,then the effective value of the resulting current is

  • A
    $[\frac{a^2 + b^2}{2}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[a^2 + \frac{1}{2}b^2]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $[a^2 + b^2]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $[\frac{1}{2}a^2 + b^2]^{1/2}$
