4. A conductor carries a current that maybe regarded as equivalent to the sum of two components, one of them being a continuous direct current of 4.2 amp and the other a superimposed full-wave rectifier current. If the latter has a maximum value of 6.4 amp, calculate the average current in the wire if (a) both components have the same direction, (b) the two components are oppositely directed? 5. Solve prob.4 assuming the superimposed rectified component is half-wave with a maximum value of 8.3 amp.
