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

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.
