For the same peak value, which of the following wave has the least mean value ?
Correct answer: A. half wave rectified sine wave
- A. half wave rectified sine wave
- B. triangular wave
- C. sine wave
- D. square wave
Explanation
For equal peak values, the half-wave rectified sine has average value \(E_{max}/\pi\approx0.318E_{max}\), lower than the corresponding values for triangular, full sine, and square waves.
