D
Answer
Transmitters and receivers
Type
A
24 volts
B
8.5 volts
C
34 volts
D
12 volts
Answer Notes
To convert the peak voltage of a sine wave to its RMS (Root Mean Square) equivalent, you multiply the peak value by 0.707. Alternatively, you can divide the peak value by the square root of 2 (approximately 1.414).
Applying this standard formula: 17 volts peak × 0.707 equals approximately 12.019 volts. Therefore, a 17-volt peak sine wave will deliver the same effective heating power to a resistive load as 12 volts of DC.
