Functions
Voltage
Voltage is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge between two points in an electrical circuit. It represents the force that drives electric charges to move in a circuit.
Symbol: V
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Voltage Peak Value
Voltage peak value refers to the maximum instantaneous value of a voltage waveform over one complete cycle.
Symbol: Vp
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angular Frequency
Angular frequency is a measure of how quickly an object rotates or oscillates. It indicates the rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform.
Symbol: ω
Measurement: Angular VelocityUnit: rad/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Time
Time refers to the duration over which voltage measurements are taken or displayed.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sin
Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Syntax: sin(Angle)

FAQs on AC Voltage

What is the formula to find AC Voltage?
The formula of AC Voltage is expressed as Voltage = Voltage Peak Value*sin(Angular Frequency*Time). Here is an example- 5.490211 = 9.9*sin(1.12*2).
How to calculate AC Voltage?
With Voltage Peak Value (Vp), Angular Frequency (ω) & Time (t) we can find AC Voltage using the formula - Voltage = Voltage Peak Value*sin(Angular Frequency*Time). This formula also uses Sine (sin) function(s).
Can the AC Voltage be negative?
No, the AC Voltage, measured in Electric Potential cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure AC Voltage?
AC Voltage is usually measured using the Volt[V] for Electric Potential. Millivolt[V], Microvolt[V], Nanovolt[V] are the few other units in which AC Voltage can be measured.
