For a sine wave ONLY - and assuming you are talking plus and minus 100V (200V peak to peak) - the RMS voltage is about 71V. (One half square root of 2 * single sided peak value)
30 volts provided zero crossing is at midpoint.
The rms value of a sine wave current is 0.707 Imax. So the answer to your quesion is 0.707 x 4 = 2.83 A.
A square wave will have the highest value since it has a peak, positive or negative, all of the time. Other wave shapes such as triangular and sine, have a lower value than this.
the answer is 5.6vp-p
The RMS (root mean square) of the peak voltage of a sine wave is about 0.707 times the peak voltage. Recall that the sine wave represents a changing voltage, and it varies from zero to some positive peak, back to zero, and then down to some negative peak to complete the waveform. The root mean square (RMS) is the so-called "DC equivalent voltage" of the sine wave. The voltage of a sine wave varies as described, while the voltage of a DC source can be held at a constant. The "constant voltage" here, the DC equivalent, is the DC voltage that would have to be applied to a purely resistive load (like the heating element in a toaster, iron or a clothes dryer) to get the same effective heating as the AC voltage (the sine wave). Here's the equation: VoltsRMS = VoltsPeak x 0.707 The 0.707 is half the square root of 2. It's actually about 0.70710678 or so.

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.

For a standard 360 deg sine wave with starting point of 0 deg, peaks will occur at 90 deg and 270 deg.
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)
The magnitude of a sine wave can be calculated using its amplitude, which is the peak value of the wave. For a sine wave represented by the equation ( y(t) = A \sin(ωt + φ) ), the magnitude is simply the absolute value of the amplitude ( A ). If needed, the root mean square (RMS) value can also be derived from the amplitude, calculated as ( \text{RMS} = \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}} ).
Multiply the peak to neutral by .707 for a sine wave. The RMS value is the equivalent level available if it were DC, so it will always be lower than the peak value.

If the Peak to neutral voltage is 220 volts, the root mean square voltage is 155.6 volts (sqrt(220)).
Peak voltage will be 1.414 times the RMS. Peak to Peak voltage, assuming no DC offset, will be 2 x 1.414 x the RMS value.
