The mechanical resistance of a loudspeakers losses [8D]

 

 

root mean squared [sm=dontgetit.gif][sm=hiya.gif]

 

In a direct current (DC) circuit, voltage or current is simple to define, but in an alternating current (AC) circuit, the definition is more complicated, and can be done in several ways. Root-mean-square (rms) refers to the most common mathematical method of defining the effective voltage or current of an AC wave.TO CALCULATE RMS: SQUARE all the values; Take the average of the squares ;Take the square root of the average.

do i make sense?

 

yes
