The Alernating Current can be compared to a Direct Current using the AC's Root Mean Square value. That is about .707 times the Peak value, or the sin of 45 times the peak value or, 1 over the square root of two times the peak value. All three are the same essentially. This RMS value is like the average current or voltage that the load see's throughout one cycle.
