To find the peak voltage from a given AC source voltage, we can use the relationship between the root mean square (RMS) voltage and the peak voltage. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between RMS and peak voltage The peak voltage (V_peak) can be calculated from the RMS voltage (V_rms) using the formula: \[ V_{peak} = V_{rms} \times \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 2: Identify the given RMS voltage In this problem, the RMS voltage provided is: ...
