The Average value is defined the half cycle of sine wave that mean positive and negative. Therefore the value will be zero.

Average value in case of sine wave is given by:

V = (Vp/period of conduction)*sin wt
= (12/2*pi)*sin (2*pi)
= (12/2*3.14)*sin (2*180)
=(12/6.28)*(0)
=0

since sin (n*pi) is always zero..
this expression is generally used for calculating average voltages in case of rectifiers.

Average value = (1/period of conduction)*Vp*sinwt

=(1/2pi)*12*sin(2*pi)

=0
because sin (n*pi) is alwayz equals to zero
here (wt) is also the perios of conduction here one complete cycle means 2*pi= 360 in degree

Average value is always calculated for half of the cycle. In this case, full complete cycle, average value will be 0.

But why we didn't used the "avg value = 0. 637 * peak" ?

Ya balu is correct.

Santhi said:   1 decade ago
Avg value = 0.637 * peak
= 0.637 * 12
=7.64v

Sin wave have both positive and nagetive peaks. So the average value is 0.
