When the r.m.s value of a source of electricity supply is given as 240v, it…

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 Vo = peak voltage
∴ Vo = V(_{r.m.s}) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
