A multimeter reads a voltage of a certain A.C. source as `100V`. What is the peak value of voltage of A.C. source?

A

200 V.

B

100 V.

C

141.4 V

D

400 V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c ) : Millimeter reads rms value of voltage Given AC source `V_("rms") = 100 V `
`V_(0)=V_(.rms)xxsqrt(2) = 141.4` V
