In the following graph of a sine wave, the Y-axis is voltage (Volts) and the X-axis is time seconds). What is the voltage amplitude?
What is the phase shift in seconds?
What is the phase shift in degrees?
What is the phase shift in radians?
The voltage amplitude is the maximum voltage swing. From the figure we get the voltage amplitude as ,
Phase shift is the difference between vertical axis and the zero crossing value of horizontal axis. From the figure, the first zero crossing occurs at t=0.002 seconds.That is, phase shift in seconds is,
Phase shift in degrees is given by,
or
Phase shift in radians is,
or
Note:
16 comes because the whole interval is divided into 16 intervals.
