How to find rms value of voltage

The root-mean-square (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal source of electromotive force (V_rms) is used to characterize the source. It is the square root of the time average of the voltage squared. The value of V_rms is V₀/Square root of√2, or, equivalently, 0.707V₀.

How do we find RMS value?

Square each value, add up the squares (which are all positive) and divide by the number of samples to find the average square or mean square. Then take the square root of that. This is the root mean square (rms) average value.

How do you find RMS voltage from voltage?

RMS Voltage Equation

Then the RMS voltage (V_RMS) of a sinusoidal waveform is determined by multiplying the peak voltage value by 0.7071, which is the same as one divided by the square root of two ( 1/√2 ).
