    Average Current
AI Thread Summary
To find the average current of a trapezium, calculate the total area under the curve during one period and divide it by the period. The area of a trapezium can be determined using the formula A = (a + b) * h / 2, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height. In this context, the formula can be adapted to (I_min + I_max) * t_on / 2. Understanding these calculations is essential for accurately determining average current. This method effectively simplifies the process of finding average current in trapezoidal waveforms.

It's just the total area under the curve during one period (that is, the time integral of the current over one period), divided by the period.

You know the formula for the area under a trapezium?

hi.. i do not know the formula for the area under a trapezium... hope you are able to help me..

A = (a + b)\frac{h}{2}

Or in this case:

( I_{min} + I_{max} ) \frac{t_{on}}{2}
 
thanks
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
