  • multimeter is a device that measures voltage, current, and resistance.
  • A multimeter always reads the RMS value of the voltage of an AC source.
  • The peak value of voltage in an AC source is the highest voltage that the waveform will reach like the peak is the highest point on a mountain.
  • The RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value of voltage is the effective value of the total waveform of an AC voltage.
  • It is taken as equal to the DC signal that would provide the same average power as the periodic signal.

Mathematically RMS value of voltage is given by:

Vrms = V/ √ 2 

Where Vrms is RMS voltage and V0 is maximum voltage.
