Following in from the DC circuit fundamanetals series starts the AC circuti fundamentals series. This part 1 looks at:
- What is Alternating Current
- How AC is created using a generator
- Angular Frequency
- The sinusoidal waveform, benefits and downsides
- Average, peak, peak to peak, and RMS waveforms, calculation and conversions.
- Non-sinusoidal waveforms
- Crest factor and its impact on multimeter RMS measurement
