rms value is measured using voltmeter with the use of heat sensing elements.
Multimeters measure AC in two primary ways... The older style meter uses a diode, capacitor, and resistor to measure the peak voltage of the AC signal. They then compensate their calibration to read in a close approximation of what the RMS value will be. Problem is that this only works well for true sinusoidal waveforms - if the waveform is triangular, for instance, the indicated value will not match the RMS value. The newer style meter, if it states that it is a true RMS meter, will sample the input waveform and actually calculate the RMS value. This is done by adding up the squares of the input, and then taking the square root of the result. That is a much better approximation of how much power the waveform can deliver.
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".
A conventional voltmeter displays 0.707 of the peak voltage when it measures AC.In doing so, it displays the RMS value of the measured voltage IF the measured voltage is a sinusoid.If the measured voltage is not a sinusoid, then its peak value is 1.414 times the displayed number, andyou have to calculate the RMS based on the waveform.
the number u are seeking is 0.639
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.
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.
So, ≈ 0.577 Vpk
Voltage and frequency are independent quantities.AnswerBecause the r.m.s. value is dependent on the shape of the waveform, not its frequency. The average value of any symmetrical waveform is zero and is independent of frequency.
okay, where's the "given waveform"?
In electricity, the root mean square (RMS) value is calculated by taking the square of the instantaneous values of a waveform over a complete cycle, averaging those values, and then taking the square root of that average. For a sinusoidal waveform, the RMS value can also be determined by multiplying the peak voltage (V_peak) by 0.707 (or 1/√2). This factor represents the ratio of the RMS value to the peak value for sinusoidal signals, where the RMS value effectively represents the equivalent DC value that would produce the same power in a resistive load.
The "effective" value of an alternating voltage is generally considered to be the RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value. The best way to measure that is with a True RMS voltmeter. Lacking that, if the voltage is sinusoidal, you can use an older style peak measuring voltmeter that estimates RMS value by dividing internally by the square root of 2. Any other shaped waveform will be measured incorrectly, depending on the amount of deviation from sinusoidal. (Square wave is the best example of error in this case - RMS and peak should be the same, but they won't read the same except on a True RMS voltmeter.)
Hi, RMS is voltage X .707 and the power is voltage X current. Hope that helps, Cubby
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.

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'.
