A square wave e is a cyclic pattern that has a constant absolute value, but alternates between maximally positive and maximally negative. In the ideal case, the alternation is instantaneous. If a power source set to "square wave" provides an emf with a maximum of 10 V, what is the rms emf of the power source? Give your answer in units of V, and assume the square wave is ideal.
