Peak to Peak is the most positive peak to the negative peak value. Or find any peak value and multiply by 2.

What is the effective value of 200 volts peak-to-peak?

200 volts peak-to-peak is 100 volts peak, which is 70.7 volts rms (standing for root-mean-square) also called "effective". This 70.7 volts is the DC voltage with the same heating power as the peak-to-peak. The relationship is: rms (aka RMS) equals peak-to-peak divided by 2, then divided again by square-root of 2 (1.414). The division by 2 gets us from peak-to-peak to just peak. The next division takes us to rms. If you get an AC voltrage with no description, for exmple 120 volts AC, it is RMS (effective). The USA AC standard supply voltage is 120 (also called 117) volts RMS. The USA peak is 117 x 1.414 (square root of 2) = 165 volts peak, = 330 volts peak-to-peak.


Are peak-to-peak and rms voltage measurements the same?

No, the peak-to-peak voltage is 2sqrt(2) times as much as the rms for a pure sine-wave.


How to calculate the peak-to-peak value of a signal?

A: AC or our line voltage is sinusoidal in nature it goes up to a positive peak returns to zero and proceed to the negative peak. 120V AC is actually swinging from peak to peak. It is 120 volts but the peak is the 120 v times 1.41 or 169.2 volts and since it also go negative then the peak to peak 120 volts times 2.82 or 338.40 volts or twice the peak voltage


What is the peak to peak voltage for the AC line voltage in normal outlets of your house?

Peak - neutral for 120 volts RMS is 169 volts, or 120 * sqrt(2) Peak to peak will be 2 x this value, or 339 volts.


Adding a DC source to a square wave signal?

Adding a DC source to a square wave signal will alter the base line of the wave without changing the peak-to-peak value. For example, if a square wave has a +4V baseline and a +2VDC source is introduced, the resulting square wave will have a +6V baseline. This of course will also affect the high and low peaks of the signal. Assuming that our example has a high peak of +9V and a low peak of -1V (with a total of 10V peak-to-peak), the added +2VDC source would result in a high peak of +11V and a low peak of +1V; however, the total peak-to-peak value remains unchanged at 10V peak-to-peak.
