What is a triangle wave voltage function?
When plotted as voltage (V) as a function of phase (θ), a triangle wave looks similar to the figure to the right. The waveform repeats every 2π radians (360°), and is symmetrical about the voltage axis (when no DC offset is present).
What is the RMS voltage of a triangle wave?
0.577
Sinusoidal waveforms have an RMS value of 0.707 (the reciprocal of the square root of 2) and a form factor of 1.11 (0.707/0.636). Triangle- and sawtooth-shaped waveforms have RMS values of 0.577 (the reciprocal of square root of 3) and form factors of 1.15 (0.577/0.5).
What happens when DC is applied to capacitor?
A capacitor connected across a DC voltage source will get charged to source voltage. It could be a good surge current if there is no series resistance. It will then remain in that charged state — no further current flows once it is charged fully.
How is a triangle wave related to current?
When plotted as voltage (V) as a function of phase (θ), a triangle wave looks similar to the figure to the right. The waveform repeats every 2 π radians (360°), and is symmetrical about the voltage axis (when no DC offset is present). Voltage and current exhibiting cyclic behavior is referred to as alternating; i.e., alternating current (AC).
What is the peak voltage of a VRMS triangle wave?
A 1 Vrms triangle wave applied across a 1 Ω resistor also produces 1 W of heat. That 1 Vrms triangle wave has a peak voltage of √3 V (≈1.732 V), and a peak-to-peak voltage of 2√3 V (≈3.464 V). Since finding a full derivation of the formulas for root-mean-square (Vrms) voltage is difficult, it is done here for you.
How to calculate the amplitude of a triangle wave?
One full cycle is shown here. The basic equation for a triangle wave is as follows: There are a number of ways in which the amplitude of a triangle wave is referenced, usually as peak voltage (Vpk or Vp), peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp or Vp-p or Vpkpk or Vpk-pk), average voltage (Vav or Vavg), and root-mean-square voltage (Vrms).
What kind of waveform does a 100 Ω resistor have?
A current flowing through a 100 Ω resistor has a periodic triangular wave form. Asses: the average value of the current, the average dissipated power.
