What is the difference between RMS and average value
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / vivek
RMS value is the value of root of square of posiitive and
negative both values and it is positive while average may
be negative or zero also. RMS value of a sine wave of
amplitude 1 is 1/sqrt(2) while its average is zero.

Answer / padam singh
RMS value is the root of the average of the square of the
instantaneous value of any wave. Being the squared it comes
always in positive value. It plays important role in
representing the value of sine wave (Mains voltage
specifically).It's value for a sine wave is equal to Peak
votage/sqrt(2). However average value is the simple average
of any wave. It comes positive for positive half and
negative for negative half of a sine wave. It's value is
Peak voltage/Pie for one half only and zero for a complete
sine wave. Generally AC Voltage is represented in terms of
RMS value.

Answer / ashok meena
RMS value is equal to the product of foam factor (1.11)and
avg. value .
foam factor = (rms value/avg value) = 1.11
avg. value is actual output but for all computational work
we required rms value. thts y the rating is give in te for
off rms value .

Answer / waqas
RMS value is Root of mean of the square of a sinusoidal signals instantaneous value.
Average value is sum of negative and positive side of a DC signal wave.
Average value for AC signal is always zero because half cycle of sinusoidal is +ve And half cycle is -ve so its sum will always be zero

Answer / rishikesh sawale
The voltage at which heat dissipation in ac circuit is equal to heat dissipation in dc circuit is the RMS value.
and
The voltage at which charge transfer in ac circuit is equal to charge transfer in dc circuit is average value.

What is corkscrew rule?
what is the formulae for calculating the cable size for a given voltage and current.
why we are using earth pit in sub stations.?
why the earth terminal of the three pin plug we are using bigger than the others?
why we commonly use delta star winding in power and distribution transformers
how to calculate the mesh earth network resistance in such substation, is there any recommended resistance values with references , thanks!
Why the motor take high starting current for long time(10- 15 sec) which is connected to Blower as compaire with a motor which is connected with pump with same rating?
What do you mean by cogeneration? What its working principle?
What is advantages of VSCF wind electrical system?
why do motors burn out? I understand why adding parallel loads to a power source means more current moves through the circuit, and can destroy circuit elements by overheating. What about when you have a vaccuum cleaner intake flush against a floor, a room fan sitting directly against a wall, or a power drill trying to drill through something too hard?
