(a)
\Calculate the RMS voltage of household current.
\The voltage of electricity is
, where
is the time in seconds.
Voltmeters read the RMS (root-mean-square) voltage, which is the square root of the average value of
over one cycle.
The function is
.
Period of
is
.
Average value of
is
.

Let
, then
.
The boundaries are
and
.



Average rate of
is
.
Therefore, RMS voltage of household current is
.
(b)
\Find the corresponding amplitude needed for the voltage
.
Many electric stoves require an RMS voltage of 220 V.
\If the amplitude of voltage is
with
, then the RMS voltage is
.
RMS voltage :
.
.
Therefore, the corresponding amplitude needed for the voltage
is
.
(a) RMS voltage of household current is
.
(b) The corresponding amplitude needed for the voltage
is
.
