Solution

The RMS (Root Mean Square) value of a sinusoidal wave is given by the peak value divided by the square root of 2.

For a 120V sinusoidal wave, the RMS value would be calculated as follows:

  1. Identify the peak value: In this case, the peak value is 120V.

  2. Divide the peak value by the square root of 2: 120V / √2 ≈ 84.85V

So, the RMS value of a 120V sinusoidal wave is approximately 84.85V.
