Q101EasyAC Fundamentals

AC પરિપથમાં પીક મૂલ્યનું સાચું નિરૂપણ નીચેનામાંથી કયું છે?

જવાબ અને પગલાવાર ઉકેલ
સાચો જવાબ: D. RMS મૂલ્ય × પીક ફેક્ટર
ટૂંકી સમજૂતી

પીક ફેક્ટર AC તરંગના મહત્તમ (પીક) મૂલ્યને RMS મૂલ્ય સાથે જોડે છે. વ્યાખ્યા મુજબ પીક ફેક્ટર = V_peak/V_rms, તેથી V_peak = પીક ફેક્ટર × V_rms. સાઇન તરંગ માટે પીક ફેક્ટર √2 છે.

વિગતવાર ઉકેલ (મૂળ ભાષામાં)

Concept & Reasoning

The RMS value represents the DC-equivalent heating value of an AC quantity, whereas the peak value is the maximum instantaneous magnitude. Peak factor (also called crest factor) is defined as the ratio of peak value to RMS value. Rearranging that definition immediately gives the required representation. Form factor is a different ratio: RMS value divided by average rectified value, so it cannot be used to obtain the peak value directly unless additional waveform information is known.

How to Solve It in the Exam

Remember: peak factor connects PEAK ↔ RMS; form factor connects RMS ↔ average rectified value.

Important Exam Point

Write the definitions of peak factor and form factor before manipulating them; this prevents mixing the two ratios.

Quick Trick

Remember: peak factor connects PEAK ↔ RMS; form factor connects RMS ↔ average rectified value.

Common Mistake

Do not confuse peak factor with form factor. For a sine wave they are approximately 1.414 and 1.11 respectively.
