Examples of Alternating Current Values
|
Specific Examples
| Currents | Average value (For complete cycle) | Peak value | r.m.s.value | Angular frequency |
| i=i0sinωt | 0 | i0 | i0/√2 | ω |
| i=i0 sinωtcosωt | 0 | i0 / 2 | i0 /2√2 | 2ω |
| i= i0 sinω t + i0 cos ωt | 0 | √2i0 | i0 | ω |
(5) Peak to peak value
It is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of positive and negative peak values
\ Peak to peak value = V0 + V0 = 2V0 = 2√2 Vrms = 2.828 Vrms
(6) Peak factor and form factor
The ratio of r.m.s. value of ac to it's average during half cycle is defined as form factor. The ratio of peak value and r.m.s. value is called peak factor
