Relation between rms voltage and peak voltage of an AC source is :

  1. A \( V_{rms} = \frac{2}{\pi} V_0 \)
  2. B \( V_{rms} = V_0 \sqrt{2} \)
  3. C \( V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}} \)
  4. D \( V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{2} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a sinusoidal AC source, the root mean square (rms) voltage is the effective value that produces the same heating effect as a DC voltage. It is calculated by dividing the peak voltage ( \(V_0\) ) by \(\sqrt{2}\) (which is approximately \(0.707 \times V_0\) ). C)…
