1 volt (voltio) pico a pico Explanation: El volt sí sé es la unidad de medida de la tensión (voltaje) en honor al Sr. Alejandro Volta, y el voltio aunque aparece no sé quien sea. El pico a pico significa que la medición se realiza entre el máximo y el mínimo de la excursión de la señal (de voltaje o tensión, en este caso), es decir desde la cresta positiva hasta el valle negativo de su forma de onda. Esta manera de medir difiere de la medición cuadrática media o medición promediada que algunos instrumentos modernos ofrecen y que para una onda senoidal tiene un valor de 0.7071 veces el valor pico a pico. |
