The sinusoidal waveform, or sine wave, is the
fundamental alternating current (ac) and voltage
waveform.
Electrical sine waves
are named from the
mathematical
function with the
same shape.

A wave is a disturbance that is somewhat analogous to
the wave that is created when a rock is dropped into a
pond. Despite their similarities, however, electrical waves
cannot be seen directly.
Ch.8 Summary
Waves
All periodic waves can be constructed from sine
waves, which is why sine waves are fundamental.

Sine waves are characterized by the amplitude and
period. The amplitude is the maximum value of a
voltage or current; the period is the time interval for
one complete cycle.
The amplitude
(A) of this sine
wave is 20 V
The period is 50.0 us

Frequency ( f ) is the number of cycles that a sine
wave completes in one second.
Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz).
If 3 cycles of a wave
occur in one second
(as shown), the
frequency is 3 Hz.

The period and frequency are reciprocals of each other.
Thus, if you know one, you can easily find the other.
Example: If the period is of a sine wave

When a conductor rotates in a constant
magnetic field, a sinusoidal wave is generated.
When the conductor is moving parallel
with the lines of flux, no voltage is
induced.
When the loop is moving perpendicular to the lines
of flux, the maximum voltage is induced.

There are several ways to specify the voltage of a
sinusoidal voltage waveform. The amplitude of a sine
wave is also called the peak value, abbreviated as V
P

for a voltage waveform.

this waveform is 20 V

The voltage of a sine wave can also be specified as
either the peak-to-peak or the rms value. The peak-to-
peak is twice the peak value. The rms value is 0.707
times the peak value.

voltage is
40 V

half-wave average) is used to specify the voltage or
current. By definition, the average value is as 0.637
times the peak value.

The sine wave can be represented as the projection
of a vector rotating at a constant rate. This rotating
vector is called a phasor. Phasors are useful for

The phase of a sine wave is an angular measurement that
specifies the position of a sine wave relative to a reference.
To show that a sine wave is shifted to the left or right of this
reference, a term is added to the instantaneous voltage

In vehicles, alternators generate AC, which is converted to
DC for operating electrical devices and charging the battery.
AC is more efficient to produce and can be easily regulated,
hence it is generated and converted to DC by diodes.
The output is taken
from the rotor through
the slip rings.

There are two major classifications of AC motors.
These are the induction motor and the synchronous
motor. Both types use a rotating field in the stator
windings.
Rotor current in an induction motor is induced by the
changing current in the stator. This current creates a
magnetic field that reacts with the moving field of the
stator, which develops a torque and causes the rotor
to turn.

There are two major classifications of AC motors.
These are the induction motor and the synchronous
motor. Both types use a rotating field in the stator
windings.
Synchronous motors have a magnet for a rotor. In small
motors, this can be a permanent magnet, which keeps up
with the rotating field of the stator. Large motors use an
electromagnet in the rotor, with external DC supplied to
generate the magnetic field.

Triangular and sawtooth waveforms are formed by
voltage or current ramps (linear
increase/decrease)
Triangular waveforms have
positive-going and negative-
going ramps of equal
duration.
The sawtooth waveform
consists of two ramps, one of
much longer duration than the
other.

All repetitive non-sinusoidal waveforms are composed
of a fundamental frequency (repetition rate of the
waveform) and harmonic frequencies.
Odd-order harmonics are frequencies that are
odd multiples of the fundamental frequency.

even multiples of the fundamental frequency.
