EFFECTIVE HOW ABOUT AVERAGE .639 of peak.
AnswerThe 'effective' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is the same as its 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) voltage which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 Umax.
The 'average' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is zero over a complete cycle, or 0.639 Umax, over half a cycle (usually applied to rectified waveforms).

What equation is used to calculate the dc output voltage for a given ac input voltage to a step-down transformer?
so far i knew, the transformers are used to seprate dc component from ac component of supply fed into primary winding of coil. still if dc output value of ac input has to be calculated then it is v2*2/sqrt(pi) where v2 is peak ac output voltage and is equal to v1*n2/n1 pi is a constant numerically equal to 3.14 thus the dc value is average value of output ac voltage -------------------sachin_the_rex@aol.in------------------------------
What is rms value in ac system?
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.
Volts peak is equals to dc volts?
"Voltage peak" is generally used to denote the maximum(amplitude) of AC voltage supply. It can not be approximated as dc value. The closest approximation one can make for dc value of a ac supply is the RMS(root mean square) value of the voltage. So that the ohmic loss caused by the given AC voltage supply is equivalent to that caused by a dc supply having value equal to the RMS of this AC supply (for given impedance & time).
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.
Where are Vpp and V rms?
Vpp is Peak-to-Peak voltage, in other words, in AC voltage, the peak-to-peak voltage is the potential difference between the lowest trough in the AC signal to the highest. Assuming the reference to the voltage is zero, Vpp would be twice the peak voltage (between zero and either the highest or lowest point in the AC waveform). Vrms is the Root Mean Square voltage, think of it as sort of an average (it's not quite that simple). For a sine wave, the RMS voltage can be calculated by y=a*sin(2ft) where f is the frequency of the signal, t is time, and a is the amplitude or peak value.
Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?
With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.
What mathematical formulas is used to find the average value voltage for an ac voltage?
The RMS value of an AC voltage is VRMS = VPEAK / sqrt(2), where VPEAK = the voltage peak to neutral.AnswerThe average value of a sinusoidal a.c. voltage is zero.
How do you find effective value of a current?
The effective value of an AC = AC/√2. Example: the effective value of 8.5 V AC is 6.01 V, because 8.5/√2=6.01 Hope that helped :)

Is tranformer used to increase or decrease AC voltage?
The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.
