RMS Value of AC
Asked by Sarvadaman Gupta · 1 year ago
What is the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of AC and why is it important?
1 Answer
The RMS value of AC is the equivalent steady DC value that would produce the same heating effect. For a sinusoidal AC, the RMS value is equal to the peak value divided by √2. It's important because it allows us to compare the effective value of AC to DC, and is used in power calculations.
