The r.m.s. value of potential difference V shown in the figure is:

1. V₀
2. V₀/√2
3. V₀/2
4. V₀/√3

Correct answer: V₀/√2

Solution

The r.m.s. (root mean square) value of an alternating voltage is given by V_rms = V₀/√2, where V₀ is the peak value of the voltage. This is a standard result derived from the definition of r.m.s. for sinusoidal waveforms.
