AC RMS/Peak Value Converter
Interactive simulation demonstrating the relationship between peak and RMS values in AC circuits
Voltage Parameters
Peak Voltage (Vp)
300 V
RMS Voltage (VRMS)
212.13 V
VRMS = Vp / √2 ≈ Vp × 0.7071
Current Parameters
Peak Current (Ip)
14.14 A
RMS Current (IRMS)
10.00 A
IRMS = Ip / √2 ≈ Ip × 0.7071
About RMS and Peak Values
What is Peak Value?
The peak value (Vp or Ip) is the maximum voltage or current reached during one cycle of the AC waveform.
RMS Value Definition
Root Mean Square (RMS) value is the equivalent DC value that would produce the same heating effect in a resistor as the AC waveform.
Why RMS Matters
Most AC measurements are given in RMS values because they represent the effective value for power calculations and component ratings.
Conversion Formula
For a pure sine wave: RMS = Peak / √2. This relationship is fundamental in AC circuit analysis and power calculations.
