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.


What is peak voltage value of 3 phase?

The same as in single phase with the same RMS voltage.


What is Difference between peak inverse voltage and break down voltage?

Two names for practically the same condition. Peak inverse is name whereby the maximum voltage can be sustained. Breakdown is actually the point where a reverse voltage is reached and reverse breakdown has occurred


What is the relationship between peak to peak and peak voltage for a sine wave?

The RMS (root mean square) of the peak voltage of a sine wave is about 0.707 times the peak voltage. Recall that the sine wave represents a changing voltage, and it varies from zero to some positive peak, back to zero, and then down to some negative peak to complete the waveform. The root mean square (RMS) is the so-called "DC equivalent voltage" of the sine wave. The voltage of a sine wave varies as described, while the voltage of a DC source can be held at a constant. The "constant voltage" here, the DC equivalent, is the DC voltage that would have to be applied to a purely resistive load (like the heating element in a toaster, iron or a clothes dryer) to get the same effective heating as the AC voltage (the sine wave). Here's the equation: VoltsRMS = VoltsPeak x 0.707 The 0.707 is half the square root of 2. It's actually about 0.70710678 or so.


What is effective voltage?

It is the 'as if' voltage in an AC circuit. Referred to as Vrms 120 volts in your house is Vrms, the effective voltage, 'as if' it were DC 120V, can do the same work. But 120VACrms is a sine wave with a peak voltage much higher than 120 volts.

What happens to the amplitude of two waves as they meet?

Depends where. If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase. Same with troughs. However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.


Are peak-to-peak and rms voltage measurements the same?

No, the peak-to-peak voltage is 2sqrt(2) times as much as the rms for a pure sine-wave.


What is peak voltage value of 3 phase?

The same as in single phase with the same RMS voltage.


What is the formula of power dissipation for a peak to peak square wave?

treat the square wave same as DC of half the peak to peak voltage.


What is amplitude frequency and wavelength of a wave?

The frequency and wavelength are the same thing. Not effected by the amplitude in the least.


Use of RMS?

I am not certain what is being asked here. RMS is Root Mean Square which is basically the DC voltage which would produce the same amount of heat in a heating element as the AC voltage in question. Since AC is continuously changing in polarity and voltage, it is handy to use the RMS voltage rather than the peak (169.7V for 120V RMS) or peak-to-peak (339.4V for 120V RMS). The peak or peak-to-peak voltage is handy to know when considering the maximum values such as in rectification.


Why you take 2Vm peak inverse voltage for full wave rectifier?

When the AC waveform goes to one peak, the capacitor that follows the diode is charged to that peak value. When the AC waveform goes to the other peak, the same diode is reverse biased between the alternate peak value and the charged value of the capacitor. This differential voltage is two times peak voltage.

What is quasi peak?

Most radiated and conducted limits in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing are based on quasi-peak detection mode. Quasi-peak detectors weigh signals according to their repetition rate, which is a way of measuring their "annoyance factor." They do this by having a charge rate much faster than the discharge rate. Therefore as the repetition rate increases, the quasi-peak detector does not have enough time to discharge as much, resulting in a higher voltage output (response on spectrum analyzer). For continuous wave (CW) signals, the peak and the quasi-peak response are the same. The quasi-peak detector also responds to different amplitude signals in a linear fashion. High amplitude low repetition rate signals could produce the same output as low amplitude high repetition rate signal. Quasi-peak detector readings will always be less than or equal to the peak detection. Because quasi-peak readings are much slower, (by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude compared with peak) it is very common to scan initially with the peak detection first, and then if this is marginal or fails, switch and run the quasi- peak measurement against the limits.


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?"


How are amplitude wave length and frequency connected?

The frequency and wavelength are the same thing. Not effected by the amplitude in the least. (Velocity= frequency x wavelength).
