The RMS value of potential difference V shown in the . . .

Question : The RMS value of potential difference V shown in the figure is 

a) V₀/2

b) V₀/√3

c) V₀

d) V₀/√2

Doubt by Eshani and Mohini

Solution : 

In order to calculate the root mean square value of voltage, the time period will be taken from 0 to T only.

V_rms = √[(v₁²+v₂²)/2]
V_rms = √[(v₀²+(0)²)/2]
V_rms = √[(v₀²)/2]
V_rms= v₀/√2

Hence, d) would be the correct answer.
