Module 3. Electrical fundamentals

A sine wave of RMS value 7.07 volts has a peak to peak value of

  • 20 volts.
  • 10 volts.
  • 0.707 volts.

Explanation

Peak = RMS * sqrt 2 = 7.07 * 1.414 ~ 10 V. Peak-to-peak is twice the peak, so 2 * 10 = 20 V. The 10 V option mistakes peak for peak-to-peak, and 0.707 V comes from dividing rather than multiplying by the conversion factor.

if anyone could guide...

Hey.
Peak = RMS * 1.414 = 7.07 * 1.414 = 10V
Peak-to-peak = 2 * peak = 20V.
