When the r.m.s value of a source of electricity supply is given as 240v, it means that the peak value of the supply is
240v
340v
480v
57600v
Объяснение
The relationship between the peak value and r.m.s value of electricity supply is given as
V\(_{r.m.s}\) = \(\frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2}}\)
where Vo = peak voltage
∴ Vo = V\(_{r.m.s}\) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
V\(_{r.m.s}\) = \(\frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2}}\)
where Vo = peak voltage
∴ Vo = V\(_{r.m.s}\) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
