If the maximum amplitude of a sine wave is 2 V, the minimum amplitude is ________ V.a.0b.-2c.2d.Between -2 and 2

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the characteristics of a sine wave related to its amplitude.
2. Understand that the maximum and minimum amplitudes are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

Relevant Concepts

• A sine wave oscillates between a maximum and minimum amplitude.
• For a sine wave with a maximum amplitude $A_{\text{max}}$ and minimum amplitude $A_{\text{min}}$:
  • $A_{\text{max}} = +2\, V$
  • $A_{\text{min}} = -A_{\text{max}}$

Analysis and Detail

1. Given that the maximum amplitude is $+2\, V$, the minimum amplitude will be: $A_{\text{min}} = -2\, V$

Verify and Summarize

The calculations show that the minimum amplitude is indeed the negative value of the maximum amplitude. Therefore, the minimum amplitude:

Final Answer

The minimum amplitude is -2 V (option b).
