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

How is RMS value calculated?
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.
What is RMS current formula?
Since the sine wave is symmetrical, we can calculate the RMS value by considering the half cycle only. i=Imsinθ.
What's RMS value of a voltage?
RMS or root mean square current/voltage of the alternating current/voltage represents the d.c. current/voltage that dissipates the same amount of power as the average power dissipated by the alternating current/voltage. For sinusoidal oscillations, the RMS value equals peak value divided by the square root of 2.
Why do we calculate RMS value?
One of the principal applications of RMS values is with alternating currents and voltages. The value of an AC voltage is continually changing from zero up to the positive peak, through zero to the negative peak and back to zero again. The RMS value is the effective value of a varying voltage or current.
