In electronics, the form factor of an alternating current
waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean
Square) value to the average value (mathematical mean of
absolute values of all points on the waveform).
i.e.
Kf=RMS/AVERAGE

Answer / viendra

Form Factor = RMS Value / Average Value

Hi,I am Ganesan Govardhan
Significance of form factor:
When an AC voltage is rectified by a full wave
rectifier,the DC value equals the Average value.
Having given the RMS AC input,we can find the DC output
from the relation

Edc = Erms/Form factor
