A.C. quantities are always expressed in root-mean-square(r.m.s.) values, unless otherwise stated. For sinsoidal waveform, this equates to 0.707 times the peak value. For example, an AC current with an amplitude of 100 A has an r.m.s. value of 70.7 A.
An a.c. current expressed as an r.m.s. value will do exactly the same amount of work as a d.c. current of the same value. In other words, a 50 A (r.m.s.) a.c. current will do exactly the same amount of work as 50 A d.c. This is why r.m.s. values are also referred to as 'effective values' of a.c..
i think average value of current in ac current is zero.
The effective value of an AC = AC/√2. Example: the effective value of 8.5 V AC is 6.01 V, because 8.5/√2=6.01 Hope that helped :)
virtual value=peak value/root 2 =707/1.414 =500
The RMS value of an AC voltage is VRMS = VPEAK / sqrt(2), where VPEAK = the voltage peak to neutral.AnswerThe average value of a sinusoidal a.c. voltage is zero.
define the maximum value of an ac wave form

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.
If the AC signal is sinusoidal, then the RMS value is 141 divided by square root of 2, i.e. 99.7 volts.
The instantaneous value of an alternating current (AC) is the value of the current at a specific moment in time. It is constantly changing direction and magnitude due to its alternating nature, so the instantaneous value represents its value at that precise instant.
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.
The average value of the alternating current (AC) in the circuit is calculated by finding the root mean square (RMS) value of the current waveform. This value represents the equivalent direct current that would produce the same amount of power dissipation in a resistor as the AC current.
Yes, if it is set to measure AC, it is usually calibrated to RMS.

signal value changes with time
The maximum value of the current in an AC circuit depends on the frequency of the voltage source. As the frequency increases, the maximum current value also increases.
For calculations Peak or magnitude is used.
