The "effective" value of an alternating voltage is generally considered to be the RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value. The best way to measure that is with a True RMS voltmeter.
Lacking that, if the voltage is sinusoidal, you can use an older style peak measuring voltmeter that estimates RMS value by dividing internally by the square root of 2. Any other shaped waveform will be measured incorrectly, depending on the amount of deviation from sinusoidal. (Square wave is the best example of error in this case - RMS and peak should be the same, but they won't read the same except on a True RMS voltmeter.)

What is rms value in ac system?
The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.
What is RMS Peak value and average value?
RMS is used to determine the average power in an alternating current. Since the voltage in an A/C system oscillates between + and -, the actual average is zero. The RMS or "nominal" voltage is defined as the square root of the average value of the square of the current, and is about 70.7% of the peak value.************************************************************The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.Fo a sine wave, the r.m.s. value is 0.707 x the peak value.The average value is different; for a sine wave it is 0.636 x the peak value.
The effective value of ac voltage is calculated as?
EFFECTIVE HOW ABOUT AVERAGE .639 of peak.AnswerThe 'effective' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is the same as its 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) voltage which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 Umax.The 'average' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is zero over a complete cycle, or 0.639 Umax, over half a cycle (usually applied to rectified waveforms).
Effective voltage and maximum instantaneous voltage relation?
For a sinusoidal waveorm, RMS (effective, heating) value = 2/pi x (peak voltage). It's not 2/pi for waveforms with other shapes. 2/pi = roughly 63.7%
What is rms value in ac system?
The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.
What is alternative voltage?
Alternating voltage is the E.M.F. and is one whose magnitude whose magnitude changes with time and direction reverses periodically. The instantaneous value is given by E=Eo sin w t, where,E=value of alternating voltage at time t Eo = maximum value of alternating voltage(amplitude) w=angular frequency of supply.
The highest value reached by an alternating voltage in a half cycle is called?
maximum or peak value
Why rectified output is more than ac input voltage?
It is not. It is just a matter of interpretation. When you measure an AC voltage, you normally measure its average, or RMS, value. In a typical 117 VAC system, for instance, the voltage is alternating between +165 V and -165 V in a sinusoidal form. If you rectify that with a diode, and then filter it with a capacitor, the voltage will be 165 VDC. (Less, of course, by the forward bias drop of the diode.) That is simply the peak value of the original voltage.
What value of voltage measure by DMM Vrms or Dc voltage?
Many can measure both - Vrms (AC) or DC voltage.
What is difference between amplitude and peak value?
It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".
How does the peak value of an alternating voltage compare to its quoted value?
The quoted value is usually RMS value, i.e it is lesser than the peak value of the voltage, therefore the peak value is sqrt(2) times the quoted value. (it is a sine wave)
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.

What will the multimeter show if it is used to measure the voltage of the ac half wave rectified voltage?
rms value of voltage
What is average value in alternate voltage?
The term is 'alternating voltage', not 'alternate voltage'. For an a.c. voltage or current, the average value is taken over half its wavelength because, over a complete wavelength it is, of course, zero. For a sine wave, the average value (over half a wavelength) is 0.637 Vmax or 0.637 Imax.
