Question

The ratio of peak value and rms value is called the

Answer 1

Also known as the “equivalent” or “DC equivalent” value of an ACvoltage or current. For a sine wave, the RMS value is approximately 0.707 of its peak value. The crest factor of an AC waveform is the ratio of its peak(crest) to its RMS value.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of peak value and rms value is called the Crest factor or peak factor.

Explanation:

Crest factor is an important term of a waveform, such as sinusoidal current or sound, showing the ratio of peak values to the effective value. Crest factor is defined as the ratio of peak value to rms value of a current waveform: The crest factor for a sinusoidal current waveform, such as that which a pure resistive load would draw, is 1.414 since the peak of a true sinusoid is 1.414 times the rms value.
