RMS voltage
The root mean square (RMS) voltage is the square root of the mean square.
Formulas
The RMS voltage can be calculated with one of the following formulas:

We can also calculate the peak voltage, peak-to-peak voltage, and average voltage if we know the RMS voltage:

V RMS is the symbol for RMS voltage and is measured in volt (V).
V pk is the symbol for peak voltage and is measured in volt (V).
V pp is the symbol for peak-to-peak voltage and is measured in volt (V).
V avg is the symbol for average voltage and is measured in volt (V).
