I need to find the root mean square voltage based on this drawing, knowing that the period (T) is equal to 6 seconds, and the voltage (V) is equal to 14 Volt. I know that the rms can be calculated using this formula. How do I apply this into my exercise? rms

enter image description here

knowing that T = 6s, V = 14V find rms voltage.

You have the formula right there, integration is indeed the area under the curve. Over one period, you just have to calculate the area under the voltage waveform/curve squared. It is pretty clear that the time duration between T/4 and T will be 0 even when squared. And you have,

$$V^2 * T/4$$ of area remaining. Inserting V=14 and T=6, $$14*14*6/4 = 294$$ now multiply it with 1/T. $$294*1/6 = 49$$ It is now only a matter of solving the following equation, which I'll leave as an exercise.

$$ V_{rms} = \sqrt{49} $$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Andyaka Yes I also wanted to write $$V_{rms}$$ but the formula in the question had $$A$$ in left hand side. But you are right that $$A_{rms}$$ does sound like rms current magnitude. It is best to convert A to V. \$\endgroup\$
