Question
Example:
(a) What is the value of the peak voltage for 120-V AC power? (b) What is the peak +V,
power consumption rate of a 60.0-W AC light bulb?
For (a):
-Vo
Solving the equation Vrms= for the peak voltage Vo and substituting the known
value for Vms gives:
Vo=2-vZVrms=1.414(120 V)= 170 V.
This means that the AC voltage swings from 170
V to -170 V and back 60 times every second. An
equivalent DC voltage is a constant 120 V.
For (b):
Peak power is peak current times peak voltage. Thus,

cycle), and the power averages 60 W.
