With respect to AC fundamentals of an electrical signal, the ratio of the area under the curve to the base is called _______.
RMS value
average value
peak value
effective value
average value
The average value of an alternating current or voltage signal is defined as the arithmetic mean of all the instantaneous values over a specific period, typically a half-cycle. Geometrically, this represents the total area under the waveform curve for that duration divided by the length of the base.

For a periodic signal f(t) with time period T, the average value is obtained by integrating the function over the interval and dividing by the interval width. This mathematical process effectively flattens the area under the irregular waveform into a rectangle of height equal to the average value and width equal to the base period.
The average value over one complete cycle of a pure sine wave is zero.
For AC calculations involving average value, we always consider the half-cycle (from 0 to ╧А).
Average value is a measure of the net charge transfer in electrochemical applications like battery charging.
Useful for design of DC-measuring instruments like PMMC meters.
Simpler to calculate for standard waveforms compared to RMS.
Cannot be used directly for power calculations as it does not account for the squared heating effect.
Becomes zero for fully symmetrical AC signals over a full period.
Rectifier circuit analysis.
Battery charging and electroplating processes.
Calibration of moving coil instruments.
RMS value is the square root of the mean of the squares of instantaneous values, representing the heating effect.
Peak value represents the maximum amplitude attained by the waveform in one cycle.
Effective value is synonymous with the RMS value.
