  • question_answer
    When a voltage measuring device is connected to AC mains, the meter shows the steady input voltage of 220 V. This means:                                                                              (NCERT EXEMPLAR)

    A) input voltage cannot be AC voltage, but a DC voltage

    B) maximum input voltage is 220 V

    C) the meter reads not V but \[<{{V}^{2}}>\] and is calibrated to read \[\sqrt{<{{V}^{2}}>}\]

    D) the pointer of the meter is stuck by some mechanical defect

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) the meter reads not V but \[<{{V}^{2}}>\] and is calibrated to read \[\sqrt{<{{V}^{2}}>}\] The voltmeter connected to AC mains is calibrated to read root mean square value or virtual value of AC voltage.
