Instantaneous Peak Value is The maximum value attained by an alternating quantity during one cycle is called its Peak value. It is also known as the maximum value or amplitude or crest value. The sinusoidal alternating quantity obtains its peak value at 90 degrees

The instantaneous value is the value of an alternating
quantity (ac voltage, ac current or ac power) at a
particular instant of time in a cycle. The instantaneous
value of any variable quantity is designated by the
smaller case letter of its symbol. For example, v for
voltage, i for current, etc.
The peak value is the highest voltage that the
waveform will ever reach, like the peak is the highest
point on a mountain.
