One cycle of the sine wave is equal to 360 degrees. In US the frequency of power is typically 60 Hz and hence one cycle is 1/60 of a second. Therefore you can calculate the degrees at any instant of time. If at zero degrees the voltage amplitude is zero, then at 90 degrees,which is 1/4 cycle, wave is at peak voltage. At 180 degrees it is at 1/2 cycle and zero voltage and then at 270 degrees it is 3/4 of the cycle and a peak negative voltage. Finally at 360 degrees the cycle is complete and the voltage is again zero.

What happens where the phase shift between the sine wave and cosine wave is 180?
This question makes no sense as the specified condition cannot occur. The phase shift between a sine wave and a cosine wave is always 90 degrees, by definition.
What is the phase of a sine wave which is offset one sixth of a cycle with respect to time zero?
1/6th of a cycle is 60 degrees or (pi/3) radians.
How many alternation does a sine wave contain?
A: Since it can be considered a full circle then then there will be 4 quadrant for 360 degrees
What is the Integration of sine wave?
cos wave
Determine second third and 12TH harmonic of a sine wave?
A sine wave has no harmonics. It only has a fundamental, so the value of the 2nd, 3rd, and 12th harmonics of a sine wave is zero.
