What is peak to peak?

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


Is Cathode ray oscilloscopes measure peak to peak value or average or root mean square value?

peak - peak.


The rms value of sinusoidal 200v peak to peak wave is?

You can work this out yourself. For a sinusoidal waveform the rms value is 0.707 times the peak value. As you quote a peak-to-peak value, this must be halved, first. Incidentally, the symbol for volt is 'V', not 'v'.


What is the peak value of a sine wave that has a peak to peak value of 60v?

30 volts provided zero crossing is at midpoint.


What is the peak-to-peak voltage in a circuit with an rms voltage of 120VAC?

ANSWER: The peak to peak voltage can be found by multiplying 120 v AC x 2.82= 339.41


What is the Relationship between the peak-to-peak DC voltage across RL and the peak input voltage in full wave rectifier?

The input voltage, an AC Sine Wave will have a Peak-to-Peak value equal to 2X its Peak value. Once rectified, all the Peaks will be either above or below the Zero reference line. They'll look like a series of identical bumps. The net value of the unrectified voltage will be Zero. The positive and negative waveforms canceling each other out. The rectified waveform will be all positive or negative and its net value will be non-zero. Its AVERAGE value will be .636 times its Peak value. Its Root Mean Square (RMS) value will be .707 times its Peak value. Its Peak-to-Peak value will equal 1X the Peak value.


What is the peak value of a household appliance that uses a 230 VAC source?

Peak value is 1.414 times the RMS voltage. On a 240 volt circuit the peak voltage is 240 x 1.414 = 339.36 volts. The peak to peak value is twice this.


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)


How do you find the peak value of 110 volts RMS?

The peak of a waveform that is purely sinusoidal (no DC offset) will be RMS * sqrt(2). This is the peak to neutral value. If you are looking for peak to peak, multiply by 2.


What is the virtual value of ac whose peak value is 707V?

virtual value=peak value/root 2 =707/1.414 =500


What does the peak value of an alternating voltage compare to its quoted value?

Assuming "quoted value" to be RMS value, or average, [what you would see on a meter], the peak would be that value times 1.414. Going backward, peak times .707 is RMS.


What is the value and peak to peak value of 12v?

All a.c. voltages are expressed in root-mean-square (r.m.s.) values, unless otherwise stipulated. So 12 V is an r.m.s value which, for a sinusoidal waveform, has an amplitude, or peak value, of 1.414 x 12 = 16.97 V. So its peak-to-peak value will be twice this amount -i.e. 33.94 V.
