Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The relationship between the peak value and r.m.s value of electricity supply is given as
V\(_{r.m.s}\) = \(\frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2}}\)
where Vo = peak voltage
∴ Vo = V\(_{r.m.s}\) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
The relationship between the peak value and r.m.s value of electricity supply is given as
V\(_{r.m.s}\) = \(\frac{V_o}{\sqrt{2}}\)
where Vo = peak voltage
∴ Vo = V\(_{r.m.s}\) × √2
= 240 × √2
= 339.5v
= 340v
