    Ac Dc Frequency
AI Thread Summary
AC frequency can be determined from the waveform's characteristics, particularly for pure sine waves, which have a specific frequency. AC voltage is indeed linked to frequency, as any AC waveform will exhibit a frequency or range of frequencies. The RMS voltage, however, is independent of frequency, as it measures the average voltage of the waveform. Changing the frequency alters the time characteristics of the sine wave without affecting its amplitude. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing AC circuits effectively.

can you tell me all of the equations to find AC frequency? also, what is AC voltage? is it somehow linked to frequency?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
no, no it didn't.

Your questions are not making much sense yet. What is the context of your question? Why didn't the wiki article help?

Yes. Any AC waveform will have a frequency or range of frequencies (and potentially a DC offset as well). If the AC waveform is a pure sine wave, it will have one frequency.
 
Assuming you're talking about purely sinsoidal waves.

The RMS voltage doesn't depend on the frequency since it is just a measure of the average voltage (or the average of the amplitude of the sine wave). This isn't affected by the frequency as if you change the frequency you only change the sine wave in the horizontal or time axis so this doesn't affect the amplitudes.
 
thanks for your help.
