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.
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 is voltage rms in relation to alternate voltage?
RMS voltage is the DC equivalent of your AC waveform. Vrms=(Vpeak)/(root two) If your peak voltage is 170V then the RMS voltage would be approx. 120 V (see related link)
What is the voltage gain of a transistor amplifier that has an output of 5 rms and an input of 250 mV rms?
The voltage gain (Av) of a transistor amplifier can be calculated using the formula ( Av = \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} ). In this case, the output voltage is 5 V rms and the input voltage is 250 mV rms (which is 0.25 V). Therefore, the voltage gain is ( Av = \frac{5}{0.25} = 20 ). This means the amplifier has a voltage gain of 20.
What is the peak voltage of a 240 VRMS sine wave?
To calculate the peak voltage of an RMS voltage in a sine wave simply multiply the RMS voltage with the square root of 2 (aprox. 1,414) like this: 240 x 1,414 = 339,4 V RMS x sqr.root of 2 = peak voltage
What is peak voltage value of 3 phase?
The same as in single phase with the same RMS voltage.
Define rms reverse voltage of a diode?
A DIODE will breakdown at a certain reverse voltage if RMS VOLTAGE IS SPECIFIED THEN the actual voltage will be RMS volts times 1.41
What is 10000 rms?
rms stands for root mean squared. rms voltage is a way of measuring a sort of average alterating current voltage as distinguished from peak-to-peak voltage. Likewise for ac rms current.

What do you mean by rms value of current and voltage?
From Wikipedia:"In mathematics, the root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms), also known as the quadratic mean, is a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity. It is especially useful when variates are positive and negative, e.g., sinusoids."Since AC voltage is a sinusoid, the RMS voltage is one measure of the amount of voltage. It is also measured as a peak-to-peak value. Since Current = Voltage divided by Resistance, the same RMS measurement approach applies.
How do you get kilowatts if given voltage?
If voltage is given as RMS voltage (which it normally is), simply multiply the number of volts by the RMS current (as number of amps), and then divide by one thousand. Power (in kW)=Voltage (RMS volts) * Current (RMS amps) / 1000 (watts/kW)

Is 480 rms or peak voltage?
When people talk about 480V systems, they mean 480 is the RMS voltage.
What is a voltmeter used for in a science laboratory?
TO BE SPECIFIC --- RMS VOLTAGE ONLY Note to orignal answerer: RMS voltage is not the only voltage form that can be measured. Depending on the design a Voltmeter can give an output in terms of peak to peak voltage and also can be used to measure a DC voltage, both of which are very different measurements to an RMS voltage
Convert ac voltage rms to dc voltage?
The dc voltage of a rectified ac voltage will be the peak value of the ac voltage less the forward voltage drop of the diode.The rms voltage of a sinusoidal ac voltage is sqrt(peak) / 2, but you also have to consider if the ac voltage is balanced around zero.For a normal US house voltage of 117VAC, the peak voltage is about 165V, or 330V peak to peak. Your dc voltage is then around 164V.Run that rectified voltage through a capacitor, and you will still have 164V peak value, but the voltage over time will dip because the capacitor will discharge during diode off time, and recharge when it turns back on.AnswerA given value of a.c. rms voltage is exactly equivalent to the corresponding value of d.c. voltage. For example, 120 V (rms) is exactly equivalent to 120 V d.c. This is why the alternative name for 'rms voltage' is 'effective voltage'. This is based on the fact that a current of, say, 10 A (rms) will do exactly the same amount of work as a d.c. current of 10 A. And, of course, voltage and current are proportional.
What is a peak load voltage out of a bridge rectifier for a secondary voltage of 15 Vrms?
