The equation of e and v above is anologues with the deviation equation of simple harmonic motion, that is, x = A sin wt. According to formula, then alternating voltage has frequency and period as in simple harmonic motion. In this case, the frequency and period of the alternating voltage relate to the repeation of the maximum or minimum state of voltage value.

FORMULATION OF ALTERNATING CURRENT AND VOLTAGE
Therefore, the equation of alternating voltage can be expressed as follows:
v vm ax sin 2ft or
v vm ax sin
2 t T
If the alternating voltage is set in a circuit, then the current flowing in the circuit is also alternating current which varies to time according to the sine function. Therefore, alternating current can be represented in the equation as follows:
I I m ax sin wt
I I m ax sin 2ft or I I m ax sin
2 t T

Note: I = effective value of alternating current (A) Imax = maximum current (A) v = effective value of alternating voltage (volt) vmax = maximum voltage (volt) The effective value of alternating current and voltage can be measured using instruments such as AC amperemeter and AC galvanometer (for current) and AC voltmeter (for voltage).
