Equations of Alternating Quantities
5
Various Definitions
• Cycle
• One complete set of positive and negative values of
alternating quantity is known as cycle.
6
Various Definitions
• Time Period
• The time taken by an alternating quantity to complete one
cycle is called its time period.
7
Various Definitions
• Frequency
• The number of cycles/second is called the frequency of the
alternating quantity.
8
Various Definitions
• Amplitude
• The maximum value, positive or negative, of an alternating
quantity is known as its amplitude.
9
Various Definitions
• Phase
• By phase of an alternating current is meant the fraction of
the time period of that alternating current which has
elapsed since the current last passed through the zero
position of reference.
10
Phase Difference
11
Leading and Lagging Quantities
• Leading:
• A leading alternating quantity is one which reaches its
maximum (or zero) value earlier as compared to the other
quantity.
• Lagging:
• A lagging alternating quantity is one which reaches its
maximum or zero value later than the other quantity.
12
Root Mean Square (RMS) Value
13
Average Value
• Average Value:
• The average value of an alternating current is expressed
by that steady current which transfers the same charge
across any circuit as is transferred by that alternating
current during the same time.
14
Form Factor
• Form Factor:
• Form factor is defined as the ratio rms value to the
average value of an alternating quantities.
15
Crest or Peak or Amplitude Factor
• Peak Factor:
• Peak factor is defined as the ratio maximum value to the rms
value of an alternating quantities.
