(On time) / (Total time) is called Duty cycle.

Jagan said:   1 decade ago
Duty cycle means time period of pulse to total time.

SURYA said:   9 years ago
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.

It is used to describe the percent time of an active signal in an electrical device.
