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.

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.


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 link between maximum current and average current?

You are, presumably, referring to alternating current, in which case the 'maximum' current is the peak or amplitude of the waveform. The 'average' value of current is zero, because the average value of the first half of each cycle is negated by the average value over the second half of each cycle. This is why a.c. currents and voltages are always expressed in 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) values which is the value of an a.c. current that does the same amount of work as a given value of d.c. current. The r.m.s. value for a sinusoidal current (and voltage, as voltage and current are proportional) is 0.707 times the peak or maximum value.


What is the relationship between peak current peak to peak current and RMS current?

RMS is the root mean square value.(in alternating current only)


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.

What is difference between amplitude and peak value?

It is the highest value of the amplitude, called the peak value. Scroll down to related links and look at "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage". Look at the figure in the middle below the headline "RMS voltage, peak voltage and peak-to-peak voltage".


How you can prove the Peak voltage?

Use an oscilloscope. That shows the voltage waveform and you can read the peak value.

What is half and full amplitude?

Half amplitude refers to a waveform oscillating at half its peak value, while full amplitude refers to a waveform oscillating at its maximum peak value. It is often used to describe the intensity or magnitude of a signal or sound wave.


Why is the peak amplitude of voltage load lower than the amplitude of voltage transformer?

Unless otherwise stated, the value of an a.c. current or voltage is expressed in r.m.s. (root mean square) values which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 times their peak value. The output of a voltage (or potential) transformer is no different, its measured voltage will be its r.m.s value which is lower than its peak 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.

What do they mean with AC by amplitude?

AC (alternating current) amplitude refers to the maximum variation of the current or voltage in an AC waveform from zero to its peak value. It represents the strength or intensity of the alternating waveform at any given time. The amplitude of an AC signal is important for determining the power and performance of electrical devices that use AC power.

What is form factor in electrical?

Form factor in electrical engineering refers to the ratio of the effective (RMS) value of a periodic waveform to its peak value. It is used to quantify the shape of the waveform and is commonly used in power engineering to calculate the effective value of AC voltage or current. A waveform with a higher form factor indicates a more peaked shape, while a lower form factor indicates a more sinusoidal shape.
