Start with

RMS value = 0.707 × peak value  (11-9)

Then invert:

Peak value =\frac{1}{0.707} × rms value = 1.414 × rms value

or V_{M}=1.414\ V_{rms}

I_{M}=1.414\ I_{rms}

Verify this relationship by referring to Table 11-1.

By

To Get the Value

Peak 2 Peak-to-peak
Peak-to-peak 0.5 Peak
Peak 0.637 Average
Average 1.570 Peak
Peak 0.707 RMS (effective)
RMS (effective) 1.414 Peak
Average 1.110 RMS (effective)
RMS (effective) 0.901 Average
