Sine waves are a pure frequency, and hence are very stable, when passing through an analog circuit, they will keep their shape but may have their amplitude reduced. In comparison, a square wave has many frequency components, each of which may react differently to a circuit, resulting in a distorted waveform.

What wave shape of the mains supply is know as?

The mains supply wave shape is known as a sine wave. It represents the alternating current that is provided by electrical utilities for powering our homes and businesses.


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 you are considering sine wave as ac but not cosine wave?

Sine wave is considered as the AC signal because it starts at 0 amplitude and it captures the alternating nature of the signal. Cosine wave is just a phase shift of the sine wave and represents the same signal. So, either sine or cosine wave can be used to represent AC signals. However, sine wave is more conventionally used.

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.
