Best Answer

Form factor of any periodic wave is [RMS CURRENT]/[AVERAGE CURRENT].

For sinusoidal wave

RMS current=I/sqrt(2);

AVERAGE current=2I/pi;

Therefore,

Form factor=[I/sqrt(2)]/[2I/pi]

=pi/{2*sqrt(2)}

=1.11

Determine second third and 12TH harmonic of a sine wave?

A sine wave has no harmonics. It only has a fundamental, so the value of the 2nd, 3rd, and 12th harmonics of a sine wave is zero.


Which is more reasonable using a sine wave or square wave signal to determine slew rate?

It is more reasonable to use square wave rather than sine wave signal to determine slew rate. Both signal sources serve as a functional generator with the sine wave providing high purity waves.Ê
