  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 50 Hz AC generator produces a maximum voltage of 230 V. What is the peak voltage of the AC generator?

    • A) 100 V
    • B) 200 V
    • C) 230 V
    • D) 460 V

    Answer: 460 V

    Explanation: The peak voltage is 1.414 times the maximum voltage, so it's 460 V, not 230 V or 200 V. 100 V is the RMS value.
