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
-
A.
240v
-
B.
340v
-
C.
480v
-
D.
57600v
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
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 V
o = peak voltage
∴ V
o = V\(_{r.m.s}\) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
