Sinusoidal Waveforms
Amplitude, frequency, period, phase, RMS and average values of a sine wave.
Beginner
| Quantity | Sine wave value |
|---|---|
| Peak | |
| Peak-to-peak | |
| RMS | |
| Average (half cycle) | |
| Form factor | RMS/average ≈ 1.11 |
| Crest factor | peak/RMS ≈ 1.414 |
The RMS value delivers the same heating power as that DC value. Indian mains is 230 V RMS, so its peak is about 325 V.
