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?

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

Or in this case:

( I_{min} + I_{max} ) \frac{t_{on}}{2}
 
thanks
 
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...
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?
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...
