Define : i) Average value ii) RMS value of an AC Wave.

1 Answer

Answer :

i) Average value: The average value is defined as “the average of all instantaneous values during one alternation”. That is, the ratio of the sum of all considered instantaneous values to the number of instantaneous values in one alternation period. 


ii) RMS value value of an AC Wave: The r.m.s value of an alternating current is that steady current (d.c) which when flowing through a given resistance for a given time produces the same amount of heat as produced by the alternating current when flowing through the same resistance for the same time.
