The formula to calculate the RMS wattage is:
\[ \text{W}_{\text{RMS}} = \text{PW} \times 0.707 \]
Where:
The formula to calculate the peak wattage from peak voltage and current is:
\[ \text{PW} = \text{PV} \times \text{I} \]
Where:
An RMS value, or in this case, wattage, is a measure of the root mean square of the wattage in a sinusoidal circuit. It provides a more accurate representation of the power delivered to a load compared to peak wattage.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{W}_{\text{RMS}} = 100 \times 0.707 = 70.7 \, \text{W} \]
The RMS wattage is 70.7 W.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{PW} = 50 \times 2 = 100 \, \text{W} \]
The peak wattage is 100 W.
