All AC voltages and currents are quoted as root-mean-square (rms) values where, for a sinusoidal waveform, the rms value is 0.707 Vmax or 0.707 Imax.

From this, you can determine the value of the amplitude Vmax or Imax:

Vmax = Vrms/0.707 or Imax = Irms/0.707

Once you know the value of the amplitude (Vmax or Imax), simply double it to determine the peak-to-peak value.

What is the sine wave formula and how is it used to calculate the amplitude and frequency of a sine wave?

The sine wave formula is y A sin(Bx C), where A represents the amplitude, B represents the frequency, and C represents the phase shift. To calculate the amplitude, you can find the maximum value of the sine wave. To calculate the frequency, you can determine the number of cycles that occur in a given time period.


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.


What is the form factor of sine wave?

Form factor is (RMS value)/(average absolute value) For sine wave form factor = (1/sqrt(2))/(2/pi) = about 1.11


What is the effective value of an AC sine wave current having a peak-to-peak value of 8 amperes?

The rms value of a sine wave current is 0.707 Imax. So the answer to your quesion is 0.707 x 4 = 2.83 A.


Ac current reffered as effective value?

Effective = RMS= average Not for a sine wave it isn't. The r.m.s. value of a sine wave is 1.11 x the average, or mean, value. The "effective" value is not a term which I've seen in any of my reference books.

What is sine waves?

See the link belowA sine wave is computed by a mathematical function. A pure sine wave in a physical sense would exactly match the calculated value in the function at every point in time.

The peak value of a sine wave occurs?

For a standard 360 deg sine wave with starting point of 0 deg, peaks will occur at 90 deg and 270 deg.

Which has a higher RMS value given a sine wave a square wave and a sawtooth wave?

A square wave has the highest RMS value. RMS value is simply root-mean-square, and since the square wave spends all of its time at one or the other peak value, then the RMS value is simply the peak value. If you want to quantify the RMS value of other waveforms, then you need to take the RMS of a series of equally spaced samples. You can use calculus to do this, or, for certain waveforms, you can use Cartwright, Kenneth V. 2007. In summary, the RMS value of a square wave of peak value a is a; the RMS value of a sine wave of peak value a is a divided by square root of 2; and the RMS value of a sawtooth wave of peak value a is a divided by cube root of 3; so, in order of decreasing RMS value, you have the square wave, the sine wave, and the sawtooth wave.

Why does the multimeter show the RMS value of sine wave but not for the triangular wave?

Because your multimeter is not an adequate device for this kind of measurement. Use the correct multimeter to display the triangular wave value.
