Prove rms voltage using integration

AI Thread Summary
To prove that the RMS voltage of the AC voltage function v = sin(x) is 0.707V, one must calculate the root-mean-square value, which involves finding the average of the square of the function over a specified interval. The formula for this average is the integral of the square of the function divided by the interval length. By integrating (sin(x))^2 over one complete cycle from 0 to 2π and applying the RMS formula, the result will confirm that the RMS value is indeed 0.707V. This method can be applied to any sinusoidal function to derive its RMS voltage. The integration process is essential for validating the RMS calculation.

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
The root-mean-square value of a function is the root of the average of the square of the function.
The average of the square of a function f (x) over an interval is given by:
\frac{\int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}} (f (x))^{2} dx}{t_{2} - t_{1}}​
You can do the relevant integration yourself for f (x) = sin x (or any sinusoidal function for that matter)
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
