Question:

A bulb is rated 40W for a 220 V supply. The peak voltage of the supply is

Options:

$110\sqrt{2} V$

220 V

$220\sqrt{2} V$

440 V

Correct Answer:

$220\sqrt{2} V$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $220\sqrt{2} V$

The Peak voltage ($V_{peak}$) is,

$V_{peak}=\sqrt{2}×V_{rms}$

$=220×\sqrt{2}=220\sqrt{2} V$
