The voltage time (V−t) graph for triangular wave having peak value V0 is as shown in figure. The average value of voltage V in time interval from t=0 to T is

Solution
average value of voltage = Area under voltage - time curveTime interval
area above time axis is taken +ve and area below time axis is taken -ve
if area from t = 0 to t =T/2 is A, area from t = T/2 to t = T is -A
(congruent trinangles)
so total area under curve from t =0 to t= T is (A-A)= 0
So, the average value of voltage for complete cycle from t = 0 to T is 0
