Consequently, the only integral value of an alternating wavewhich is of practical importance, as directly connected with the me-chanical system of units, is that value which represents the samepower or effect as the periodical wave. This is called the effective 14 ALTERNATING-CURRENT PHENOMENA value. Its square is equal to the mean square of the periodicfunction, that is: The effective value of an alternating wave, or th
