D = T/P*100 %.

Where D is the duty cycle, T is the time the signal is active, and P is the total period of the signal.

D = 6ms/18ms*100 {where milli = 10^-3}.

So, D = (6x10^-3)/(18x10^-3)*100.

= (6/18)*(10^-3/10^-3)*100.
= 1/3*100.
= 33.3% HP.

But both are in ms than why convert its to second than upper side also we can multiply by 100 ?

Answer was right but I can't understand please.

Duty cycle is defined as pulse width(PW) divided by pulse repitition time(PRT)

Duty cycle = PW/PRT

D = ton/total time period.

Ton = 6 ms.

Total time period = 18 ms.

6/18*100 = 33.33%.

D=ton/total time period
ton=6ms
total time period=18ms
so in percentage 33.33%

PW is pulse width and PRT is pulse repetition time i.e., total period.

The Duty Cycle =Ton/(Ton+Toff) that is;

6ms/18ms,
= 33.3%.

Duty cycle can define in % then we multiply.

Dipti said:   1 decade ago
what is pw and prt please mention.

Raviraj said:   1 decade ago
Because it is in percentage.
