Root Mean Square (RMS) Value

Methods

The rms value of alternating quantity is defined as the AC valve of current flowing through a given resistance for a given time produces the same amount of heat as produced by the direct current when flowing through the same resistance for the same time.

ROOT MEAN SQUARE (RMS) VALVE

The rms value of alternating quantity is defined as the AC valve of current flowing through a given resistance for a given time produces the same amount of heat as produced by the direct current when flowing through the same resistance for the same time.

Graphical Method:


Let us consider AC sine wave. Let i,, i2, i3, ..., i, be the instantaneous valve of the current.

According to Joule's law, when a current is passing through any resistor heat is produced.

Heat produced per second = I2R Joules/sec
