To calculate the peak voltage of an AC waveform, you need to know the amplitude of the waveform. The amplitude is the maximum value the voltage reaches during one complete cycle of the alternating current. The peak voltage (Vp) can be calculated using the following formula:
Vp = Vm
Where:
Vp = Peak voltage (the maximum value of the voltage)
Vm = Amplitude of the AC waveform (half of the peak-to-peak voltage)
Keep in mind that the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the voltage within one complete cycle of the AC waveform. The amplitude (Vm) is half of the peak-to-peak voltage. So, if you have the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp), you can calculate the peak voltage (Vp) using this formula:
Vp = Vpp / 2
To measure the amplitude or peak-to-peak voltage of an AC waveform, you will need an oscilloscope or a multimeter capable of measuring AC voltage. Remember to take the appropriate safety precautions when dealing with electrical equipment.
