What is an AC waveform?
Click to flip
An AC (Alternating Current) waveform is an electrical signal that periodically reverses direction, typically represented by a sine wave.
Click to flip
What is frequency in AC waveforms?
Click to flip
Frequency is the number of times an AC waveform repeats per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
Click to flip
Describe peak value in the context of AC waveforms.
Click to flip
Peak value is the maximum amplitude of an AC waveform, representing the highest voltage or current it reaches.
Click to flip
What does RMS stand for and why is it important?
Click to flip
RMS stands for Root Mean Square. It is important because it represents the effective value of AC voltage or current, equivalent to a DC value that produces the same power.
Click to flip
What is phase angle in AC terms?
Click to flip
A phase angle in AC terms is the offset between different waveforms, typically measured in degrees or radians.
