    Current Trapezoid
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the average current of a trapezoidal waveform, it's important to clarify the specific type of current being referenced, such as average or RMS current. The method for calculating these values remains consistent across different waveforms, although some shortcuts may exist. Users are encouraged to integrate the current or apply geometric principles to derive the necessary values. The forum emphasizes the importance of independent problem-solving rather than simply providing formulas. Understanding the underlying concepts is crucial for accurate calculations.

may i know what is the formula to calculate current of trapezoid??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
two things...

1. We need more information. do you mean average current, rms current, etc?
2. This is the third question you have asked about finding some value of current related to the shape of the waveforms. The method of finding RMS, average current, etc will be the same from waveform to waveform. For some waveforms yes there will be shortcuts that you easily finding on sites such as Wikipedia. The goal of this site is not to spoon feed you equations, but rather to help you think on your own.

Integrate the current or use geometry.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
