The defination of form factor is

FF=RMS/avg(abs(f(t)))

for sin waveform

RMS=0.707*peak(f)

avg(abs(f(t)))=2/pi*peak(f)

so

FF=0.707/(2/pi)=1.1106

Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?

If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.


Why ac voltage varying?

AC voltage is varying because it is sinusoidal in nature


How do you measure ac voltage by using galvanometer?

First rectify the voltage signal then pass it through galvanometer. its reading will give the rms value, so multipy it with form factor to get amplitude of the signal. Form factor for sinusoidal half wave and full wave are 1.11 and 2.22 respectively. One should also take care of voltage drop accross the rectifier diodes in calculation.

What is sinusoid?

What is a sinusoidal wave? This is a wave that appears to have curves. AC current/voltage. If you see a wave on a ossiloscope of what our AC (Alternating current) mains voltage that will be the answer to the question. DC (direct current) does not appear to have the same qualitys


What is the RMS value of AC sinusoidal waveform?

General formula: square root of the square modulus averaged over a period:xRMS =1/T sqrt( integral (|x(t)|2dt) ) ,where x(t) is the signal and T is its period.If you solve it for sinusoidal waves, you get a 1/sqrt(2)~0.707 factor between peak amplitude and RMS value:xRMS ~ 0.707 XPK ~ 0.354 XPK-PK ~ ...
