Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an AC circuit, what is the term for the maximum voltage?
  • Step 1: Understand that AC stands for Alternating Current, which means the current changes direction periodically.
  • Step 2: In an AC circuit, the voltage also changes over time, going up and down.
  • Step 3: The highest point that the voltage reaches during this cycle is called the maximum voltage.
  • Step 4: The term used to describe this maximum voltage is 'peak voltage'.
