Sine wave average voltage question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-02-21] [Hit: ]
-Average equals 1 volt, as the sine wave average is zero.Rectified how? A simple single diode, a bridge? In which direction is the diode pointing?......
If I have a sine wave with an amp of say 4 V, BUT it is offset with DC to 1V (meaning the Top will be 5V, and the bottom -3V) - what will the avarage voltage be?

I am reffering to the 2/pi formula (0,637 * Upk) and how I can use it here.

Many thanks in advance!

Average equals 1 volt, as the sine wave average is zero.

Rectified how? A simple single diode, a bridge? In which direction is the diode pointing?
And what does "rectified mean average" mean? I'll assume you mean the average voltage of the rectified signal.

A single diode, pointing towards the load, will produce a voltage that varies from zero to +5v, minus the diode drop. The wave shape is the top 5/8 of the sine wave. To get the actual average value, you have to calculate the zero crossings and integrate the function.

Other diode connections will produce different waveforms.

yes of course that is what is meant by average. on the sine wave only.
