The rms value of an alternating current

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rms value of an alternating emf is defined as that value of a stady (dc) emf that would dissipate the same power in a given resistance as that by the alternating emf and is equal to the square root of the mean value of the square of the alternating emf averaged over one cycle.
