It is the 'as if' voltage in an AC circuit. Referred to as Vrms 120 volts in your house is Vrms, the effective voltage, 'as if' it were DC 120V, can do the same work. But 120VACrms is a sine wave with a peak voltage much higher than 120 volts.

What is the effective voltage of the electrical circuit?

The effective voltage of an electrical circuit is the measure of the average voltage over a complete cycle of alternating current. It is also known as the root mean square (RMS) voltage.


What is the effective voltage for a peak voltage of 311 volts?

When the peak voltage is 311, the RMS voltage is 220. (311 * square root (2))

Effective voltage and maximum instantaneous voltage relation?

For a sinusoidal waveorm, RMS (effective, heating) value = 2/pi x (peak voltage). It's not 2/pi for waveforms with other shapes. 2/pi = roughly 63.7%


The effective value of ac voltage is calculated as?

EFFECTIVE HOW ABOUT AVERAGE .639 of peak.AnswerThe 'effective' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is the same as its 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) voltage which, for a sinusoidal waveform, is 0.707 Umax.The 'average' value of an a.c. voltage (or current) is zero over a complete cycle, or 0.639 Umax, over half a cycle (usually applied to rectified waveforms).


What is the formula of calculating effective current if resistor and voltage is given?

I = E/R or Current = Voltage/Resistance (Ohm's Law)


What is the effective voltage for 3 phase 220 VAC power?

If, by 'effective' voltage, you mean 'root-mean-square' (rms) voltage, then 220 V is already expressed in those terms.Unless otherwise stated, a.c. voltages and currents are always expressed in rms values.


If Three 12 volt batteries are connected in parallel what is the effect on the circuit?

There will be no effect on the voltage. That is the effective voltage will be only 12 volt. But there will be increase of current.


Can you connect an AC source in series to DC source - then what happens to the current under a steady state condition?

With an AC and a DC voltage source in series, the DC voltage can be added to the RMS value of the AC voltage to give the effective voltage.


How many amperes 1.5kw are?

That depends on the voltage which the current flows through. I = P / U I = 1500 / U Where I is the current in Amperes and U is the effective voltage in Volts. (P is the power)


Why is alternating current more effective at long distance travel than direct current?

Transformers increase and decrease voltage as needed. PLATO


How does the voltage across a load is measured in a circuit with alternating current?

The voltage across a load in a circuit with alternating current is typically measured using a voltmeter. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the load, allowing it to measure the effective voltage or RMS voltage across the load. This value represents the average voltage of the alternating current waveform.
