  • Question
  • If a voltmeter measures a sine wave as 500 mV, what would be its average value?


  • Options
  • A. 159.0 mV
  • B. 318.5 mV
  • C. 353.5 mV
  • D. 451.0 mV

  • Correct Answer
  • 451.0 mV 

    Explanation
    Some AC Voltage Conversion:


    Peak to rms: multiply peak by 0.707.

    Peak to average: multiply peak by 0.637.

    Rms to peak: multiply rms by 1.414.

    Rms to average: multiply rms by 0.9.

    Average to rms: multiply avg by 1.111.

    Average to peak: multiply avg by 1.567.


    Mostly voltmeter shows rms value. So, Vav = 0.9*Vrms

    = 0.9*500.

    = 450mV ~ [D] 451 mV.
