A: Root Mean Suare and it is defined as .707 of the peak
From Wikipedia:"In mathematics, the root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variates are positive and negative, e.g., sinusoids."Since AC voltage is a sinusoid, the RMS voltage is one measure of the amount of voltage. It is also measured as a peak-to-peak value. Since Current = Voltage divided by Resistance, the same RMS measurement approach applies.
A conventional voltmeter displays 0.707 of the peak voltage when it measures AC.In doing so, it displays the RMS value of the measured voltage IF the measured voltage is a sinusoid.If the measured voltage is not a sinusoid, then its peak value is 1.414 times the displayed number, andyou have to calculate the RMS based on the waveform.
rms. dat means Vp-p will be 325V.
When you say holdhold supply of 230volts, you are referring to the RMS value, not the peak value.
A square wave has the highest RMS value. RMS value is simply root-mean-square, and since the square wave spends all of its time at one or the other peak value, then the RMS value is simply the peak value. If you want to quantify the RMS value of other waveforms, then you need to take the RMS of a series of equally spaced samples. You can use calculus to do this, or, for certain waveforms, you can use Cartwright, Kenneth V. 2007. In summary, the RMS value of a square wave of peak value a is a; the RMS value of a sine wave of peak value a is a divided by square root of 2; and the RMS value of a sawtooth wave of peak value a is a divided by cube root of 3; so, in order of decreasing RMS value, you have the square wave, the sine wave, and the sawtooth wave.

rms value is measured using voltmeter with the use of heat sensing elements.
Yes, if it is set to measure AC, it is usually calibrated to RMS.
AC RMS Value x 1.414
All AC voltages and currents are expressed as rms values, unless otherwise specified. So 120 V AC is an rms value.
yes
You don't need exactly one cycle data for computing the RMS value. It is just a convenient normalization. 1 cycle = 1Hz. RMS values can also be specified in 1 Mcycle, 1kcycle, even 2.39384kcycles. Again, 1 cycle is simply convenient. In other words, if the RMS value were specified in MHz, the RMS value will be 20*log(MHz/Hz) higher.
RMS is just 15/sqr2 average is 15 * 0.637
