Question

Certain heavy industrial equipment uses AC power that has a peak voltage of 436 V. What is the rms voltage (in V)?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

308.3 V

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Peak voltage (V0) = 436 V

We calculate the rms voltage from the following formula:

$\begin{gathered} V_{rms}=\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ V_{rms}=\frac{436}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ V_{rms}=308.3\text{ V} \end{gathered}$

The rms voltage is 308.3 V
