Duty cycle = (high time/pulse width) * 100.
(1)

Ravi Rathod said:   6 years ago
Duty cycle = on time/ on time + off time so * 1 00.
10/ 110 = 0.09 * 100 = 9.0.

Yes, duty cycle is 10%.

SHORAV said:   9 years ago
Duty cycle = [Ton/(Ton + Toff)] * 100. = (Pulse width/Total time period) * 100.

Given: Ton = 10us. T = 100us.

Duty cycle = (10/100)*100 = 10%.

So answer is FALSE (B).

Duty cycle = pw/time period = 10/100 = 1/10 = .1x100= 10%.

Duty cycle = [Ton/(Ton+Toff)]*100.

= (Pulse width/Total time period)*100.

Given: Ton = 10us.

T = 100us.

Duty cycle = (10/100)*100.

= 10%.

So answer is false.

Duty Cycle = Ton/(Ton + Toff) = Pulse width/Period = 10/100 = 0.1 Equivalent to 10%.

Duty Cycle = Ton/(Ton+Toff).
We have Ton=10us.

Toff=10+10=20us.

So duty Cycle = 10/(20) = 0.5*100 = 50%.

Here the whole period that mean Ton and Toff is 100ms and the pulse width Ton is 10ms. The formula is written in other comments.

Duty cycle is a time reuired for one+&-ve half cycle.
