On a sine wave, the voltage is equal to zero at every integer multiple of 180 degrees. This occurs at 0 degrees, 180 degrees, 360 degrees, and so on. These points represent the crossings of the waveform along the horizontal axis, where the sine function equals zero.

How does time relate to degrees in an AC sine wave?

One cycle of the sine wave is equal to 360 degrees. In US the frequency of power is typically 60 Hz and hence one cycle is 1/60 of a second. Therefore you can calculate the degrees at any instant of time. If at zero degrees the voltage amplitude is zero, then at 90 degrees,which is 1/4 cycle, wave is at peak voltage. At 180 degrees it is at 1/2 cycle and zero voltage and then at 270 degrees it is 3/4 of the cycle and a peak negative voltage. Finally at 360 degrees the cycle is complete and the voltage is again zero.


If the peak voltage of a sine wave is 100 volts then the instantaneous voltage at 150 and deg is volts?

To find the instantaneous voltage of a sine wave at a given angle, you can use the formula ( V(t) = V_{peak} \cdot \sin(\theta) ). For a peak voltage of 100 volts and at 150 degrees, convert 150 degrees to radians if necessary or use the sine function directly. The sine of 150 degrees is 0.5, so the instantaneous voltage is ( 100 \cdot \sin(150^\circ) = 100 \cdot 0.5 = 50 ) volts.

What is the voltage at the 90 degree point of a sine wave with a maximum voltage of 10 volts?

10 Volts. ANSWER: ASSUMING a start when the voltage is at 0 and 0 degrees at 90 degrees is at maximum at 180 degrees is again at 0 v at 270 degrees is at the maximum negative potential and at 360 degrees is again at 0 v. the voltage is irrelevant in any case but it will follow these rules


If an AC voltage begins rising or going positive at 0 degrees when will it reach its maximum negative value?

It's a sine wave (if there is no distortion). Voltage is zero at 0 degrees, at its positive peak at 90 degrees, back to zero at 180 degrees, at its negative peak at 270 degrees, and back to zero at 360 degrees.

At what phase angle is the voltage momentarily constant in a sine wave?

We often see the peak and trough (maximum positive and maximum negative excursions) of the sine wave considered as points of momentarily constant voltage. Those points are at phase angles of 90 degrees and at 270 degrees.

What is the rms voltage for 144 volts modified sine wave?

if that 144 is the peak voltage if its a sine wave the rms voltage is that voltage divided by sqrt(2) if not a sine wave (modified) you must find the area under the curve by integrating a cycle of that wave shape (root mean squared)

Why isn't the current coming out of a transformer not a sine function?

The voltage of a transformer should be a sine wave but if the transformer is overloaded with excess voltage there could be nonlinear effects in the magnetic core that cause harmonics (i.e. departure from a sine wave) in the voltage. The current is determined by the load. If the load is resistive the current and voltage have the same waveform (by Ohm's law) but if the load is nonlinear, a diode rectifier for example, the current will depart from being a sine wave.

Why is the electric current you receive at your house is called alternating current?

The voltage and current are delivered in a sine wave that goes positive and then negative at 60 cycles per second. Google sine wave to see what a sine wave looks like.


What is phase of a sine wave?

The phase angle varies from 0 to 360 degrees as the wave cycles.
