The value of voltage or current, at any specified displacement angle, during a complete cycle is called its
A) instantaneous value
B) average value
C) amplitude
D) r.m.s value

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "instantaneous value" refers to the value of voltage or current at any given moment in time during a complete cycle. This is different from the other options, which are measures of the overall behavior of the signal over the entire cycle. The average value is the mean value of the signal over the cycle, the amplitude is the maximum value of the signal, and the r.m.s. value is a measure of the "effective" value of the signal, based on its power output.
