    Phase currents of Trapezoidal switching

    For trapezoidal switching or 180 degree switching these are the waveforms when i referred to the website 180 switching when i calculated the RMS value of the phase voltage it is Vp = 0.4714Vs so assuming the Vs = supply voltage = 20V and each phase - phase resistance as per the data sheet is...

    Engineering Power and RMS Value of a Signal

    I need to calculate the power and RMS value of some equations. The problem is, I found two methods to do that and don't know which is the right method. I have few equations to find the power and RMS value, but here is one equation. $$x( t) \ =\ 7\cos\left( 20t+\frac{\pi }{2}\right),$$ Method...

    B What is the RMS value in this context?

    In this text they are saying that rms value is square root of average value of i² but i am not able to relate this thing to equations they have given. It feels to me that the equations tell something different from the text. From text I interpret that if we add each and every value of i² from 0...

    Find the RMS value of current I

    Homework Statement In the network of sinusoidal current, as shown in the figure, the current i2 is phase delayed for the angle of 3π/4 behind the current i. In the moments in which the current i2 is minimal, current value of current i1 is sqrt(2) A. This value is two times lower than the...

    Why Does the RMS Value Represent Noise in a Photoconductor Signal?

    I am confused about very fundamental question. Why does the rms value of number of electrons collected from a signal(like in photoconductor) gives you the noise in that signal.

    Question about rms value of a sine wave

    Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but why is the effective value of a sine wave 0.707, as opposed to 0.637 which is the value generated by finding the definite integral over the domain [0,∏] divided length of the domain?

    RMS value of a fully rectified clamped sinusoid.

    so i have a question about calculating the RMS value of a fully rectified clamped sinusoid. Assumptions: The top of the waveform = U It is clamped at 0.5 U I can calculate the RMS value by adding the 3 components of the wave, ei. @ 0.5U ω = π/6 & 5π/6 which forms a block and two side...

    Calculating RMS Value for Unequal Peak Amplitudes

    If I have a wave that looks pretty much sinusoidal but the peak positive amplitide is greater than the peak negative applitude how do I calcualte the rms vlaue - is it still the peak positive amplitude divided by root 2? Thanks :)

    Finding RMS value of strange column function

    Homework Statement This is the given function: Homework Equations The RMS equation goes like this: \sqrt(\frac{\int(f(t)^2 dt)}{b - a}) The Attempt at a Solution The first part of the exercise was to find the mean value. This is A/4. The RMS value should be higher...

    Deriving RMS value from sinusoidal waveform.

    I'm having a problem with that integration part. The average value of i^2 in one cycle = (sum of all i^2 in that period)/(that period). To derive (sum of all i^2 in that period) we use integration, but that gives the area, how can the area be a substitution for this?...they are different...

    Capacitor: RMS value or double RMS value?

    Hi! I have the following question: A capacitor is connected to a transformer(sine wave) with 5v of output voltage(RMS). What final voltage is applied to the capacitor plates? And should I consider the current applied to the capacitor equal to RMS value or double RMS value? Thanks.

    Discover the Analytical Calculation for RMS Voltage from v(t) = Vm cos(wt+theta)

    The question is "starting from v(t) = Vm cos(wt+theta), show analytically that the RMS value of v(t) is v(t)=Vm/sqrt(2) for any w or theta." I'm not really sure how to begin this. Do I start by taking the integral?
