An r.m.s. value of a.c. current does exactly the same amount of work as a corresponding value of d.c. current. For example, 10 V (rms) a.c. is exactly equivalent to 10 V d.c. Since voltage and current are proportional to each other, then an r.m.s. value of a.c. voltage is exactly equivalent to the corresponding value of d.c. voltage.
So, r.m.s. provides a way of equating a.c. and d.c. values.

Is 240v rms value or peak value for AC source?
rms. dat means Vp-p will be 325V.
Does a volt meter read rms?
Yes, if it is set to measure AC, it is usually calibrated to RMS.
How do you change dc values to ac values?
To convert DC values to AC values if you are wanting RMS values they are the same. 100V DC and 100V AC (RMS) are the same "value". If you want to know the Peak-To-Peak AC value you would multiply the RMS value by 1.414. So 100V AC RMS equals 141.4 V Peak to Peak.
Why you are calculating average and rms values for ac supply?
We will always calculate rms value only since the average value of ac current or voltage is zero. So we are using rms values in the ac circuit to calculate the power and to solve an ac circuit.
How to derive the RMS of a full wave rectifier?
AC RMS Value x 1.414
Is utility voltage ie 110 VAC given as a RMS value or as a Peak value?
All AC voltages and currents are expressed as rms values, unless otherwise specified. So 120 V AC is an rms value.
Why it is useful to use rms notation for alternating current and voltage?
AC waveform is sinusoidal waveform it has both positives and negative cycles so we dont have a standard constant value to do Measurements so instead of using AC quantities we use ROOT mean square values which is obtained by dividing Vpp(peak to peak voltage) by 1.414AnswerThe rms-value of an AC current is the same as as the value of DC current that will do the same amount of work. For example, 10 A (rms) AC will do exactly the same amount of work as 10 A DC.
The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a DC of 20A and a sinusoidal ac of peak value 20A is?
From your description, this sounds like it is a sine wave offset to 10A, so the peak is at 20A, and the min is at 0? For this case, you have 10A DC (RMS) wave and a 10A Peak - neutral AC wave; The RMS value of the AC wave is: 10/2*sqrt(2) = 3.54A. So the RMS amplitude of this wave is 13.54A.
What value exactly matches the rms value of an ac signal?
peak

In roughness measureing system what is RMS value?
RMS value is defined as "The amount of ac supply required to make same heat effect in resistor , which is made by dc current, in that resistor"
Why ac voltage of inverter measures 95.1 volts?
Because inverters do not produce a pure sinewave AC and you did not use a True RMS digital meter to measure the voltage.Meters that are not True RMS actually measure the average, then display the value on a scale that assumes the input is a pure sinewave showing what the RMS would be for that average. For waveforms significantly different from sinewaves (as the inverter produces) that displayed value can be seriously wrong.
