cos2 (t) Tp = T / 2 = 0.5 / f [s] AC Power (cont.) cos (t) T = 1/f[s]
AC Power (cont.) Note: We obtain the same result if we integrate over Tp or T.
AC Power (cont.) Consider the integral that needs to be evaluated:
AC Power (cont.) “The average value of cos2 is 1/2.”
AC Power (cont.) Ic = T/2 so Hence

RMS (Root Mean Square) This is a general way to calculate the effective voltage for any periodic waveform (not necessarily sinusoidal). tp v(t) t digital pulse waveform T Duty cycle: D = tp / T

RMS (cont.) Hence
RMS (cont.) Define VRMS is the root (square root) of the mean (average) of the square of the voltage waveform Comparing with the formula for Veff , we see that Veff = VRMS
RMS (cont.) For sinusoidal (AC) signals, For other periodic signals, there will be a different relationship between VRMS and Vp. (See the example at the end of these notes.)
