Question
Explain what is meant by the mean-square value of an alternating waveform. How is this related to the r.m.s. value?
Step 1
In other words, it is the arithmetic mean of the squared values of the waveform's amplitude at each point in time during one period. Mathematically, the mean-square value (MSV) can be represented as: MSV = (1/T) * ∫[f(t)]^2 dt (from 0 to T) where T is the time Show more…
