(a) The peak voltage of an ac supply is 300 V. What is the rms voltage? (b) The rms value of current in an ac circuit is 10 A. What is the peak current?

(a)
Answer

212 V

(b)
Answer

14.14 A

Explanation

This question tests the relationship between peak and rms values in AC circuits. The rms (root mean square) value is related to the peak value by a factor of 2\sqrt{2}. For voltage: V = v_m/2\sqrt{2}, and for current: I = i_m/2\sqrt{2}. In part (a), we divide the peak voltage by 2\sqrt{2} to get the rms voltage. In part (b), we multiply the rms current by 2\sqrt{2} to get the peak current.
