Q

What does the average value tell you bout steady current

A

Q

Is the equation for Vrms for a sine wave a general result

A

No, other waves have different RMS values

17
Q

Why is the Mains value stated as an RMS value and what is the RMS value and Peak value

A

Because the RMS value tells you about power being dissipated which is what is paid for
Vrms= 230V
Vpk= 325V

18
Q

What are the amplitude RMS values of Sin waves, Square Waves and Saw tooth functions

A

Sin waves= A/root 2
Square waves= A
Saw tooth waves= A/root 3

19
Q

What is the Vrms for a square wave with an amplitude +-Vo

A

Vo

20
Q

Full Wave rectification is the same as taking the…..

A

Absolute value (magnitude)

21
Q

What is the equation for a fully rectified sin wave

A

V(t)=Vpk|sinwt|

22
Q

What happens the frequency during rectification.

A

It is doubled

23
Q

For full wave Rectification what are the limits of integration

A

0 and T/2

24
Q

For a rectified sin wave what is the Vavg

A

Vavg=2/pi * vpk=0.64Vpk

25
Q

What is the Vrms for a rectified sin wave

A

Vrms=1/root2 *vpk=0.71 Vpk

26
Q

What must be true must be about Vrms and Vavg

A

Vrms is greater than or equal to Vavg

27
Q

What effect does full wave rectification have on the RMS value

A

No effect so the Vrms of a full rectified wave is Vpk/root 2

28
Q

What can be helpful when calculating averages

A

Symmetry

29
Q

What portion of the Period of the wave do you need to consider for a triangle wave

A

T/4

30
Q

A

Vr.m.s = Vpeak aka the amplitude of the square wave

31
Q

What is the equation relating Vavg and Duty cycle

A

Vavg = DVon + (1-D)Voff

32
Q

What is the equation relating Vr.m.s and duty cycle

A

Vr.m.s= square root of (DV^2on + (1-D)V^2off)

33
Q

For half wave rectification of a sin wave What is the integral for the Vavg

A

Vavg=(1/T) x intergrall of (Vosinwt) dt btween 0 and T/2

34
Q

For half wave rectification of a sin wave what is the Vr.m.s

A

Vr.m.s= Vo/2

35
Q

For full wave rectification of a sine wave what are the equations for Vavg and Vr.m.s
