How do you convert peak voltage to peak-peak voltage?
Simply multiply the peak voltage to 2 and you will get the peak to peak voltage.
What is 10000 rms?
rms stands for root mean squared. rms voltage is a way of measuring a sort of average alterating current voltage as distinguished from peak-to-peak voltage. Likewise for ac rms current.
What is term used when an Alternating current acts like a direct current?
Perhaps you are asking how the voltage of alternating current is measured, to be equivalent to the voltage of a direct current system. Alternating current and direct current have distinct properties. With direct current, voltage is at a constant polarity, and a direct current voltage source will maintain a uniform, constant voltage level. Alternating current reverses polarity at a given frequency and therefore it's voltage continuously varies from a positive peak voltage level, through zero, to a negative peak voltage level, repeating this cycle continuously. For this reason, voltage of an alternating current system, is measured in root-mean-square (rms), which is a voltage, which when multiplied by the current in amperes, calculates power which is equivalent to that of direct current of the same voltage and current values. With a typical sinusoidal waveform, the peak voltage of alternating current is divided by the square root of 2 to determine the rms voltage. The 120 volts output in the wall outlet in our home is actually about 170 peak volts.
What is the conversion for peak to peak voltage to peak to peak current?
It is the same as the conversion of the voltage to current. You need ohm's law.Good to now the resistance R.Scroll down to related links and look at "Ohm's Law".AnswerThere is no conversion from voltage to current, regardless how they are measured. They are two different quantities, so it's rather like asking, "What is the conversion for kilograms to feet?"
What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
Why current lead voltage in coil?
because a coil is an inductor,for current leads voltage in an inductorAnswerIt doesn't! Current lags voltage in a coil. In a purely-inductive circuit, the current lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees. The reason for this is 'self inductance'. Whenever a current changes, a voltage is induced into the coil which opposes that change in current. The maximum self-induced voltage occurs when the rate of change in current is greatest. The greatest positive rate of change of a.c. current occurs when that current is passing through the zero axis of its waveform, so the greatest (negative) induced voltage occurs at thatsame point, which is one-quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees. In accordance with Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the supply voltage must be in antiphase with the induced voltage. So when the peak induced voltage is negative, the peak applied voltage must be positive. Or, to put it another way, the peak value of the applied voltage must occur 90 degrees before the peak value of the current -so the current lags the applied voltage by 90 degrees.
What is peak to peak voltage?
Conversions of RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage. That are the used voltages. The expression "average" voltage is used for RMS voltage.Scroll down to related links and seach for "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".Answer'Average' is not the same as 'root mean square'. As the average value of a sinusoidal voltage is zero, you cannot convert it to a peak-to-peak value.
How rms voltage related to peak voltage?
The average voltage is the rms voltage.Volts peak = volts RMS times 1.414Volts RMS = volts peak times 0.7071Use the link below to an RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage calculator.********************************The average voltage is not the r.m.s. voltage.The average voltage of a sine wave is 0.636 x the peak value. Conversely, peak voltage is 1.57 the mean or average.
Why is the class A current less than the peak current?
Not sure what you mean by Class A current. Normally, when measuring AC voltage or current you either measure the peak to peak value or the Root Mean Squared (RMS) value. Since RMS is essentially an average measured over time, it would always be less than Peak to Peak value.
What affects the value of peak current?
From ohms law, I = V/R hence Voltage and Resistance can affect the value of current, both peak and average. Also with a rectifier circuit other factors can affect the peak current such as frequency and capacitance Craig - AUT
What is RMS Peak value and average value?
RMS is used to determine the average power in an alternating current. Since the voltage in an A/C system oscillates between + and -, the actual average is zero. The RMS or "nominal" voltage is defined as the square root of the average value of the square of the current, and is about 70.7% of the peak value.************************************************************The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.Fo a sine wave, the r.m.s. value is 0.707 x the peak value.The average value is different; for a sine wave it is 0.636 x the peak value.
Why is the peak amplitude of voltage load lower than the amplitude of voltage transformer?
Unless otherwise stated, the value of an a.c. current or voltage is expressed in r.m.s. (root mean square) values which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 times their peak value. The output of a voltage (or potential) transformer is no different, its measured voltage will be its r.m.s value which is lower than its peak value.
