The rms value of a sine wave is a measure of the heating effect of the wave.

RMS VALUE (ROOT MEAN SQUARE VALUE)

The rms value of a sine wave is a measure of the heating effect of the wave.

The rms value of a sine wave is equal to the dc voltage that produces the same heating effect.

The rms value is also called effective value


RMS value = 

For sinusoidal voltage


RMS value =
