Hi everyone!
I found your notes on the internet
very
useful. I was wondering if I may ask a small
question regarding the calculation of real
power
dissipation from a simple R & L
components
circuit connected in series and
powered by a
an AC square wave. The
measurements I have is:
Power supply DC Voltage :V_dc
Power supply
DC current :I_dc
RMS current through the circuit
:I_rms
I simply wanted to know, why is the
"real power " equal to V_dc*I_dc and
not V_dc*I_rms?
Thank you very much for your time and guidance.
Cheers,
Osman
