Best Answer

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.

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.


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 is the class A current less than the peak current?

Not sure what you mean by Class A current. Normally, when measuring AC voltage or current you either measure the peak to peak value or the Root Mean Squared (RMS) value. Since RMS is essentially an average measured over time, it would always be less than Peak to Peak value.


Why you take 2Vm peak inverse voltage for full wave rectifier?

When the AC waveform goes to one peak, the capacitor that follows the diode is charged to that peak value. When the AC waveform goes to the other peak, the same diode is reverse biased between the alternate peak value and the charged value of the capacitor. This differential voltage is two times peak voltage.


The average value of a single sine wave of AC is 42.5amps. what is rms value?

Average Current = 0.636 * (Peak Current)so Peak Current = (Average Current)/0.636RMSCurrent = 0.707 * (Peak Current)so Peak Current = (RMS Current)/0.707Because both equations are in terms of Peak Current, we can set them equal to each other.(Average Current)/0.636 = (RMS Current)/0.707(42.5)/0.636 = (RMS Current)/0.707thenRMS Current = (0.707)(42.5)/0.636 = 47.24 ampsAnother AnswerSince the average value of a single sine wave is zero, you cannot calculate its r.m.s. value!
