Say It With Me: Root-Mean-Square

If you measure a DC voltage, and want to get some idea of how “big” it is over time, it’s pretty easy: just take a number of measurements and take the average. If you’re interested in the average ...

Comparing rms value and peak value of AC

This experiment helps advanced level students to compare qualitatively the power produced by AC and equivalent DC sources. Root mean square (rms) values of AC voltage are calculated from peak values ...
