Practical Electronics/Alternating current
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
This page may need to be Alternating current or AC refers to current that has amplitude varies sinusoidally and can be expressed mathematically
-
- Vac = V Sin(ωt + θ)
The highest voltage is V . One cycle of Sin wave has one highest positive value at θ = π/2 and one highest negative value at θ = -π/2
-
- Vac = ±V at θ = ± π/2
[edit] The Peak to Peak Value
The value between ±V or in scalar equals to 2V
[edit] The Average Value
The Average Value is denoted as Va is defined as
-
- Va = 0.6 V
[edit] The Root Mean Square Value
The Root Mean Square Value is denoted as Vrms is defined as
-
- Vrms = 0.707 V
