For a sine wave with peak value Imax the r.m.s. value is_______?

Correct answer: B. 0.707

  • A. 0.5 Imax
  • B. 0.707
  • C. 0.9
  • D. 1.414 Lmax

Explanation

For a sinusoidal current, the RMS value is its peak value divided by \(\sqrt{2}\), giving \(I_{rms}=0.707I_{max}\). Option b appears to omit the factor \(I_{max}\), but it is clearly the intended choice.
