Homework Statement
I need to find the average and RMS voltages for the waves (See attached pictures) but I'm not sure exactly how to do it as I don't know how to get an equation for V(t)
Homework Equations
I Know:
VRMS = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{T}\int V(t)^2 dt}[/tex] between 0 and T
And for Avg it's just VAVG = [tex] \frac{1}{T}\int V(t) dt[/tex] between 0 and T
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought I could find the averages by finding the total area for 1 period, then dividing by 1 period. This works (I think, as I don't have the answers)
Giving for the Triangular wave: [tex]\frac{T}{3} \times \frac{10}{T} = 3.3V[/tex]
and for the second sawtooth type wave: [tex] \frac{\frac{1}{2}\frac{T}{3} \times 1}{T} = \frac{1}{6}V[/tex]
Thanks
