Solution

a)

Given: The peak voltage of supply is 100 V.

The rms voltage is give as,

v m = 2 ×V

Where, the peak value of supply voltage is v m and its rms value is V.

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

300= 2 ×V V= 300 2 =212.1V

Thus, the value of rms voltage is 212.1V.

b)

Given: The rms current in an ac circuit is 10A.

The peak current in the circuit is given as,

i m = 2 ×I

Where, the peak current in an ac circuit is i m and its rms value is I.

By substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

i m = 2 ×10 =14.1A

Thus, the value of peak current in the given ac circuit is 14.1A.
