Quiz 6 Basic AC Theory

When a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, an __________ is induced in the conductor.

• electro-galvanic current (EMC)

• electro-magnetic pulse (EMP)

• electromotive force (EMF)

• electric potential (EP)

Whenever a voltage or current passes through a series of changes, returns to the starting point, and then again starts the same series of changes, the series is called a __________.

• cycle

• period

• alternation

• sequence

The frequency is the number of __________ of AC per second (1 second).

• cycles

• periods

• alternations

• waves

The time required for a sine wave to complete one full cycle is called a __________.

• alternation

• cyclic time

• period

• interval

The distance that a waveform travels during a period is commonly referred to as a __________.

• wavelength

• period length

• sine length

• amplitude

An __________ of voltage or current is the induced voltage or current flowing at any instant during a cycle.

• instantaneous value

• induced value

• intrinsic value

• integral value

The __________ is the largest instantaneous value.

• power value

• induced value

• peak value

Statement 1. The largest single positive value occurs when the sine wave of voltage is at 90°,

and the largest single negative value occurs when it is at 270°.

 

      Statement 2.      Peak value is 1.41 times the effective value.

Regarding the above statements:

• Only #1 is true

• Only #2 is true

• Both #1 and #2 are true

Effective value is also known as the __________ value or root mean square, which refers to the mathematical process by which the value is derived.

• MRS

• SMS

• RMS

The effective value of a sine wave is actually a measure of the __________ of the sine wave.

• resistive effect.

• heating effect

• counter EMF
