Form factor of a rectifier is the ratio of ______________?
Correct answer: B. Root mean square value of voltage and current to its average value
- A. Root mean square value of voltage and current to its peak value
- B. Root mean square value of voltage and current to its average value
- C. Average value of current and voltage to its root mean square value
- D. Peak value of current and voltage to its root mean square value
Explanation
Form factor compares the effective heating value of a waveform with its average value, giving RMS voltage or current divided by the corresponding average value.
