  2. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    Physical scientists often use the term root mean square as a synonym for standard deviation when it can be assumed the input signal has zero mean, that is, referring to the square root of the mean squared deviation of a signal from a given baseline or fit. [8] [9] This is useful for electrical engineers in calculating the "AC only" RMS of a signal.

    Notice also that using the root mean square voltage =, the expression for above takes the following more classic form: P T O T = 3 V 2 R {\displaystyle P_{TOT}={\frac {3V^{2}}{R}}} . The load need not be resistive for achieving a constant instantaneous power since, as long as it is balanced or the same for all phases, it may be written as

  4. Form factor (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(electronics)

    In electronics and electrical engineering, the form factor of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (root mean square) value to the average value (mathematical mean of absolute values of all points on the waveform). [1] It identifies the ratio of the direct current of equal power relative to the given alternating ...

  5. Root mean square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation

    In fluid dynamics, normalized root mean square deviation (NRMSD), coefficient of variation (CV), and percent RMS are used to quantify the uniformity of flow behavior such as velocity profile, temperature distribution, or gas species concentration. The value is compared to industry standards to optimize the design of flow and thermal equipment ...

    A sine wave, over one cycle (360°). The dashed line represents the root mean square (RMS) value at (about 0.707). Below an AC waveform (with no DC component) is assumed. The RMS voltage is the square root of the mean over one cycle of the square of the instantaneous voltage.

  7. Charge radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_radius

    The qualification of "rms" (root mean square) arises because it is the nuclear cross-section, proportional to the square of the radius, which is determining for electron scattering. This definition of charge radius is often applied to composite hadrons such as a proton, neutron, pion, or kaon, that are made up of more than one quark.

    root mean square The root mean square value of a waveform is the DC value that corresponds to equivalent heating value. rotary converter An electric machine that converts electric power between two forms, say, AC and DC or single-phase and three phase, or between two different frequencies of AC (the latter two can be performed by the same machine).
