#125856 - RMS because of same heat dissipation Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
Abhishek said: 
if wave is integrated witout squaring them it would result a zero over 0 to 2pi. Yes, but taking the absolut value of double squaring (E(t)^4) would also prevent this. There's a deeper sense, that E(t) is squared: "RMS value", or like we call it in german, "effective value", is that constant (DC) level, which causes the same dissipated heat across resistance R, over a certain time period. And as momentary heat dissipation is P = U(t)^2 / R = I(t)^2 x R we must square E(t) (whether it's U(t) or I(t)) and integrate it over the time period we are interested in to get the RMS value of E(t).
