Best Answer

The interaction between coil and magnetic energy creates a smooth positive and negative electron flow that peaks evenly above and below neutral. When you track this peak and valley change over time, the result is always a smooth sinus wave.

As a sinusoidal signal is clipped the waveform approaches a square wave.


Why the waveform of no load current is not sinusoidal?

No load current is mostly inductive, hence the load current may not be a sine wave


Why a multivibrator is called a multivibrator?

oscillators could generate various types of waveforms, i.e., sinusoidal, triangular, etc. Oscillators generating non-analog waveform(sinusoidal, triangular are examples of analog waveforms) ,i.e., square or rectangular waveforms are called multivibrators. Classically, "multivibrator" term was proposed by the Dutch physicist van der Pol, refers to the multiplicity of harmonics in the spectrum of generated oscillations (in this sense a generator of sinusoidal oscillations could be called a monovibrator).

Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?

excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.


What are the advantages of sinusoidal wave form?

The main advantage of using sinusoidal waveform is that any waveform can be represented using a sinusoidal wave (by applying Fourier series). Also, analysing a circuit (or any other system) becomes simpler and easier using sinusoidal signal as test signal.


What is a Trumpets amplitude?

How loud the air vibration is from the bell of the instrument. Technically the maximum zero to peak value (0-90 degrees) of the sinusoidal waveform.


What is a signal generator for a speedometer?

if the speedometer works off of an input wave (sinusoidal signal) you would think the signal generator would be a source of reference


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 ~ ...
