Reason For Generating Energy as Alternating

3.
Alternating current and voltages can be generated at comparative high values and these current and voltage can be raised and lowered readily by means of static transformers. Its more economical to transmit alternating current energy over considerable distances by using high transmission voltages since the weight of transmission conductor varies inversely as the square of the transmission voltage when the power, distance and losses are fixed.
High transmission voltages can be reduced efficiently at the receiving end of the transmission line. It is possible to build alternating current generators in large units to run at high speeds so that construction and operating costs per Kw-hr are low. Such alternators are admirably adopted to high-speed turbine drive. For constant speed work the ac induction motor is more efficient than dc motor and is less in first cost and maintenance because the induction motor has no commutator.

Lecture No.1: Introduction to Sinusoidal Waveforms
Definition of terms
Definition of terms
Waveform - a path traced by a quantity, such as the voltage in plotted as a function of some variable such as time, position, degrees, radians, temperature, and so on. Instantaneous value - magnitude of a waveform at any instant of time; denoted by lowercase letters ( e1, e2). Peak amplitude - maximum value of a waveform as measured from its average, or mean, value, denoted by uppercase letters (such as Em for sources of voltage and for the voltage drop across a load).

Definition of terms
Peak value - maximum instantaneous value of a function as measured from the zero-volt level. Peak-to-peak value - Denoted by Ep-p or Vp-p, the full voltage between positive and negative peaks of the waveform, that is, the sum of the magnitude of the positive and negative peaks. Periodic waveform - waveform that continually repeats itself after the same time interval.
Definition of terms
Period (T ) - the time interval between successive repetitions of a periodic waveform (the period T1 = T2 = T3 ), as long as successive similar points of the periodic waveform are used in determining T.
Cycle - the portion of a waveform contained in one period of time.
10
Definition of terms
Frequency ( f ) - the number of cycles that occur in 1 s. time.
Definition of terms
Since the frequency is inversely related to the period that is, as one increases, the other decreases by an equal amountthe two can be related by the following equation:
f
where: The unit of measure for frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz (Hz) = 1 cycle per second (c/s)

The velocity with which the radius vector rotates about the center, called the angular velocity (), can be determined from the following equation:

Angular velocity = distance (degress or radians) time (seconds)

T = 1/f
