Title: Frequency, Period and Time

Introduction

When a sine wave of alternating voltage is connected across a load, the current that flows
in the circuit is also a sine wave.

Frequency and Period

The number of cycles per second is called frequency, it is indicated by the symbol f and is
expressed in hertz (Hz). One cycle per second equals o one hertz, thus 60 cycle per second
equals to 60 hertz. The amount of time for the completion of 1 cycle is period. It is indicated
by the symbol T for time and is expressed second (s). Frequency and period are reciprocals
of each other.
Example:

1. Determine the periodic time for frequencies of: (a) 50 Hz, (b) 20 kHz

(a) 50 Hz (b) 20 kHz

Solution:

2. Determine the frequencies for periodic time s of (a) 4ms, (b) 4 µs

Solution:
