What is the average value of a sinusoidal ac over one complete cycle?
AZero over the cycle
BHalf of the peak value
CEqual to the peak value
DEqual to the rms value
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Zero over the cycle
Positive and negative half cycles cancel exactly, so the mean over a whole cycle vanishes.
