Since work is being done by the current in both the positive and the negative half cycle, average value is determined regardless of signs. Hence, to determine average value of alternating&nbsp;<a><\/a>quantities having symmetrical waves, only (positive half) cycle is considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"para-086\">Divide the positive half cycle into \u2018<em>n<\/em>\u2019 number of equal parts as shown in Figure 6.8.
