In a capacitive circuit, when the applied voltage is given as an rms (root mean square) value, all calculated currents and voltage drops across components are also expressed in rms values. This is because rms values provide a consistent basis for comparing the effects of alternating currents (AC) and voltages, as they relate directly to the power dissipation in resistive components.
