Question

An alternating current is supplied to an electronic component with a warning that the voltage across it should never exceed  What is the highest rms voltage that can be supplied to this component while staying below the voltage limit in the warning?
A)6 V 
B)12 V 
C)144 V 
D)6 V

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum voltage that can be supplied to the component would be the given voltage limit divided by the square root of 2 (to convert from peak voltage to rms voltage). Therefore, the maximum rms voltage would be 11eab929_2919_8fc2_99e6_a55464fab633_TB4470_11 / sqrt(2) = 6 11eab929_2919_8fc3_99e6_6ff2a33b2c40_TB4470_11 V, which is option A.
