When comparing the average values of an AC generator output, to the peak values

  • average voltage = 0.707 * peak voltage.
  • average voltage = 0.63 * peak voltage.
  • average voltage = same as the peak voltage.

Explanation from PART66Online

For a sine wave the average value over a half-cycle is 2/pi ~ 0.637 of the peak, here rounded to 0.63*peak. The factor 0.707 is the RMS-to-peak relationship, not the average, so that option confuses the two values.
