Electrical Circuits

Area under half cycle = Area of Δ OAB+ Area of ACDB

Example: 6

An alternating current of frequency 50 Hz has a maximum value of 120 A. Write the instantaneous equation.

f = 50 Hz

Im = 120 A

Instantaneous current

р = Im sin ωt

ω = 2πf = 2×π×50

= 314.16 r/s

i = 120 sin 314.16 t

Example: 7

Find the average value of the voltage waveform shown in figure.

Average value = Area under half cycle /Period (half cycle)

Area under half cycle = Area of Δ OAB+ Area of ACDB

Area of Δ OAB = ½ bh = ½ × 2 × 100

= 100

Area of ACDB = b x h

= 3 × 100 = 300

Period = 5

Average value = 100+300 /5 = 400/5

= 80 V

Example: 8

Calculate the form factor and peak factor of the current wave of period 10 sec.
