Best Answer

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.

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 the derivation of the wave function?

A simple wave function can be expressed as a trigonometric function of either sine or cosine. lamba = A sine(a+bt) or lamba = A cosine(a+bt) where lamba = the y value of the wave A= magnitude of the wave a= phase angle b= frequency. the derivative of sine is cosine and the derivative of cosine is -sine so the derivative of a sine wave function would be y'=Ab cosine(a+bt) """"""""""""""""""" cosine wave function would be y' =-Ab sine(a+bt)

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.

What is the difference between pure sine wave and modified sine waves?

A pure sine wave has energy at only one frequency.Any other wave shape has energy at other frequencies in addition to the frequency of the obvious waveshape.If you add up enough sine waves with the right frtequencoies and amplitudes, they'll add up to form any shapeyou want, even a squarewave.
