FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
Hertz
Answer explanation
The typical unit of frequency in AC circuits is Hertz (Hz), which measures cycles per second. Other options like Newton, Ohm, and Watt refer to force, resistance, and power, respectively, and are not units of frequency.

RMS in AC analysis
Back
Root mean square value
Answer explanation
RMS stands for Root Mean Square value, which is a statistical measure used in AC analysis to determine the effective value of an alternating current or voltage. It is not the actual average or resistance average.

The frequency of household AC in most countries is:
Back
50/60 Hz
Answer explanation
The standard frequency for household AC power in most countries is either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, depending on the region. This is essential for the proper functioning of electrical appliances.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which waveform is commonly used in AC electrical systems?
Back
Sine wave
Answer explanation
The sine wave is the most common waveform in AC electrical systems due to its smooth periodic oscillation, which allows for efficient energy transfer and is fundamental in alternating current applications.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
In an AC circuit with pure resistance, the current and voltage are:
Back
In phase
Answer explanation
In an AC circuit with pure resistance, the current and voltage are in phase, meaning they reach their maximum and minimum values simultaneously. This is why the correct answer is 'In phase'.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
The peak value of a sine wave is 10V. What is its RMS value?
Back
7.07V
Answer explanation
The RMS value of a sine wave is calculated as peak value divided by √2. For a peak value of 10V, RMS = 10V / √2 ≈ 7.07V. Thus, the correct answer is 7.07V.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If the RMS voltage is 100V, what is the peak voltage approximately?
Back
141.4V
Answer explanation
The peak voltage (V_peak) can be calculated from the RMS voltage (V_rms) using the formula V_peak = V_rms × √2. For 100V RMS, V_peak = 100V × 1.414 ≈ 141.4V, making 141.4V the correct answer.
