Form Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Form Factor = Root Mean Square Voltage/Average Voltage
F = Vrms/Vavg
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Form Factor - The Form Factor is defined as the ratio between the average value and the RMS value.
Root Mean Square Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Root Mean Square Voltage is the square root of the time average of the voltage squared.
Average Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Average Voltage is simply average of the voltages of the circuit.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Root Mean Square Voltage: 7 Volt --> 7 Volt No Conversion Required
Average Voltage: 35 Volt --> 35 Volt No Conversion Required
