In AC circuits, AC meters measure – (1) mean values (2) rms values (3) peak values (4) mean square values

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) rms values Explanation: Voltages and currents for AC circuits are generally expressed as rms (root mean square) values. For a sine wave, the relationship between the peak and the rms average is: rms value = 0.707 peak value.
