The average value of 100 volts peak AC is
- 70.7 volts.
- 141. 4 volts.
- 63.7 volts.
I think this might be incorrect.
i assume the question is looking for the rms value?
the formula for rms is -
peak voltage x 0.707
or
peak voltage / 1.414
both formulas give 70.7 as the answer
am i missing something?
A sine wave has 5 amps RMS value. What is the peak value?
- 7.07 amps.
- 6.37 amps.
- 10 amps.
Please explane tnx

answer should be absolute temperature scale , please chnage it
The earth lead of a 24 V equipment is 0.5 ohm resistance and carries 80 A. How much power does it dissipate?
- 1.92 kW.
- 1.152 kW.
- 3.2 kW.
P=VI
so p=24 x 80=1.92 kw

Please teach me...
In the circuit shown, if the frequency is increased from zero to resonant frequency, the circuit current would

- increase.
- decrease.
- stay the same.
please explain...
A transformer has 500 turns on the primary and 100 turns on the secondary. The secondary supplies 20V and is connected to a 10 ohm load. The primary current is
- 0.4 amps.
- 2 amps.
- 10 amps.
HOW????
A Transformer has 4500 secondary turns and 750 primary turns. Its turns ratio is
- 1:6.
- 1/6.
- 6:1.
Turn Ratio is Secondary/primary. Hence correct turn ratio is 6:1.
The instantaneous value of the EMF induced in a rotating wire loop is
- directly proportional to the sine of the angle between the loop and the field.
- indirectly proportional to the sine of the angle between the loop and the field.
- directly proportional to the cosine of the angle between the loop and the field.
how do you get cosine?
