Best Answer

reciprocal of the square root of 2, converts from peak voltage to rms voltage

Another AnswerThis figure results when you work out how much work is done by one complete cycle of a.c. current. Since work is proportional to the square of a current, if you divide one complete cycle of a sine wave current into lots and lots of instantaneous values, square each of these values, find their average (mean) value, then find the square root of that value, you will have found the 'root-mean-square' of the current over a complete cycle. This value always works out to 0.707 x the peak or maximum value of the sine wave. For other waveforms, other r.m.s. values result.

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 do bridge rectifier has higher rms value?

Bridge rectifiers have higher rms values because the ripple factor low.


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.


Use of RMS?

I am not certain what is being asked here. RMS is Root Mean Square which is basically the DC voltage which would produce the same amount of heat in a heating element as the AC voltage in question. Since AC is continuously changing in polarity and voltage, it is handy to use the RMS voltage rather than the peak (169.7V for 120V RMS) or peak-to-peak (339.4V for 120V RMS). The peak or peak-to-peak voltage is handy to know when considering the maximum values such as in rectification.


What did rms stand for?

RMS is root mean square in physics. RMS is Railway Mail Sevice in postal net work rms ie root mean square is got first squaring the positive and negative values to make them all positive. Then mean is taken. After that we have to take square root of the mean square. So square Root of the Mean value of the Squares of the values. Hence the name


Why does a digital multimeter show rms voltage?

rms values refer to "root mean square" mathematical values of the sine wave of electricity. This is essentially an "average" value of the voltage being measured as voltage in any circuit varies constantly.


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 you have to electrical quantities in RMS but not average or peak?

Average values of an AC source would be zero, which wouldn't be particularly helpful. Peak values are mainly useful if that's what you're interested in. RMS allows AC to be calculated as if it was DC, which is simple and helpful.


How do you calculate rms current?

Power is determined from an AC voltage measured in volts RMS and an AC amperage measured in amps RMS, but there is really no such thing as "RMS power". People are using the term "RMS power", but that is not correct. it is actually "average power".Why there is no such thing as 'RMS watts' or 'watts RMS' and never has been:http://www.hifi-writer.com/he/misc/rmspower.htm


Why there is no such thing as RMS or watts RMS?

There is such a thing as "RMS power", but it's not useful for anything, so don't use the term. No one measures the RMS of the power waveform. What they do is measure the RMS of a voltage waveform, and then use that to derive the averagepower. The correct term is "average power", not "RMS power". You could measure the RMS of the power waveform instead of the average, but your measurement would be 1.2 times too high.
