For a sinusoidal voltage v(t) = V_m sin(ωt), the RMS value is:

AV_m
BV_m / √2 ≈ 0.707 V_m
CV_m × √2
DV_m / 2
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. V_m / √2 ≈ 0.707 V_m
**RMS (root mean square) of sin:** V_rms = V_m/√2. Equivalent DC voltage that delivers same power. **Indian mains:** V_rms = 230 V → V_peak = 230√2 ≈ 325 V. Average over full cycle of pure sin is zero RMS is the meaningful 'effective' value.
