The maximum value of an a.c. waveform, in either the positive or negative sense, is called its
A) instantaneous value
B) peak-to-peak value
C) amplitude
D) r.m.s value

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum value of an AC waveform is called its amplitude, which represents the peak value in either the positive or negative direction. Instantaneous value refers to the value of the waveform at any particular point in time, while peak-to-peak value is the difference between the maximum and minimum points in the waveform. R.m.s value is the root-mean-square value of the waveform, which represents the effective value of the waveform.
