| Feb 22, 2020 at 14:20 | comment | added | jonk | @Carl Why don't you write up an answer here, then? We may upvote it and you can accept it. Plus, it may help others who are fortunate enough to read it. | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 14:08 | comment | added | Carl | No, it would most certainly not. Thank you for the tip, I think I got the problem settled. | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 14:03 | comment | added | Transistor | Yes. Wrong answer. Consider what would happen if the voltage ramped from -2 V to +2 V. Average = 0. If you used that average what power would that give you? Would it be correct? | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 13:56 | comment | added | Carl | If I found the AVG voltage and used that instead, would it give me a wrong answer? | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 13:55 | comment | added | Hearth | I feel like your answer should probably also be in the form of a plot for a question like this. | |
| Feb 22, 2020 at 13:54 | comment | added | Transistor | You need to find the RMS voltage of the sloped part of the waveform and then use that in your formula above. There should be plenty of examples on this site and the wide web. | |
