The RMS over all time of a periodic function is equal to the RMS of one period of the function. The RMS value of a continuous function or signal can be approximated by taking the RMS of a series of equally spaced samples. Additionally, the RMS value of various waveforms can also be determined without calculus, as shown by Cartwright. In the case o...

This is also one way to express the magnitude of a generated waveform, or amplitude, and it typically gives a sense of the size of the waveform. Specifically, the root mean square voltage—commonly abbreviated as RMS—of a periodic waveform is equal to the value of a DC voltage amount that would deliver the same amount of power that the periodic ...
