For a sine wave ONLY - and assuming you are talking plus and minus 100V (200V peak to peak) - the RMS voltage is about 71V. (One half square root of 2 * single sided peak value)

What is the peak value of a sine wave that has a peak to peak value of 60v?

30 volts provided zero crossing is at midpoint.


What is the effective value of an AC sine wave current having a peak-to-peak value of 8 amperes?

The rms value of a sine wave current is 0.707 Imax. So the answer to your quesion is 0.707 x 4 = 2.83 A.


For same peak value of current which waveform will have least RMS value?

A square wave will have the highest value since it has a peak, positive or negative, all of the time. Other wave shapes such as triangular and sine, have a lower value than this.


What is the approximate peak-to-peak voltage of a 2 VRMS sine wave?

the answer is 5.6vp-p


What is the relationship between peak to peak and peak voltage for a sine wave?

The RMS (root mean square) of the peak voltage of a sine wave is about 0.707 times the peak voltage. Recall that the sine wave represents a changing voltage, and it varies from zero to some positive peak, back to zero, and then down to some negative peak to complete the waveform. The root mean square (RMS) is the so-called "DC equivalent voltage" of the sine wave. The voltage of a sine wave varies as described, while the voltage of a DC source can be held at a constant. The "constant voltage" here, the DC equivalent, is the DC voltage that would have to be applied to a purely resistive load (like the heating element in a toaster, iron or a clothes dryer) to get the same effective heating as the AC voltage (the sine wave). Here's the equation: VoltsRMS = VoltsPeak x 0.707 The 0.707 is half the square root of 2. It's actually about 0.70710678 or so.

Which has a higher RMS value given a sine wave a square wave and a sawtooth wave?

A square wave has the highest RMS value. RMS value is simply root-mean-square, and since the square wave spends all of its time at one or the other peak value, then the RMS value is simply the peak value. If you want to quantify the RMS value of other waveforms, then you need to take the RMS of a series of equally spaced samples. You can use calculus to do this, or, for certain waveforms, you can use Cartwright, Kenneth V. 2007. In summary, the RMS value of a square wave of peak value a is a; the RMS value of a sine wave of peak value a is a divided by square root of 2; and the RMS value of a sawtooth wave of peak value a is a divided by cube root of 3; so, in order of decreasing RMS value, you have the square wave, the sine wave, and the sawtooth wave.

The peak value of a sine wave occurs?

For a standard 360 deg sine wave with starting point of 0 deg, peaks will occur at 90 deg and 270 deg.


How does the peak value of an alternating voltage compare to its quoted value?

The quoted value is usually RMS value, i.e it is lesser than the peak value of the voltage, therefore the peak value is sqrt(2) times the quoted value. (it is a sine wave)


The rms voltage is obtained by multiplying peak by a factor?

Multiply the peak to neutral by .707 for a sine wave. The RMS value is the equivalent level available if it were DC, so it will always be lower than the peak value.

If a sine wave has a peak value of 220 volts what is the route means square value?

If the Peak to neutral voltage is 220 volts, the root mean square voltage is 155.6 volts (sqrt(220)).


What is the peak voltage of a sine wave that measure 220V AC rms?

Peak voltage will be 1.414 times the RMS. Peak to Peak voltage, assuming no DC offset, will be 2 x 1.414 x the RMS value.


The rms value of the resultant current in a wire which carries a DC of 20A and a sinusoidal ac of peak value 20A is?

From your description, this sounds like it is a sine wave offset to 10A, so the peak is at 20A, and the min is at 0? For this case, you have 10A DC (RMS) wave and a 10A Peak - neutral AC wave; The RMS value of the AC wave is: 10/2*sqrt(2) = 3.54A. So the RMS amplitude of this wave is 13.54A.
