Q. The difference between peak positive and peak negative values in AC is called __.

A
Effective value
B
Peak to Peak value
C
Maximum value
D
Average value
Solution:

Peak-to-peak (pk-pk) is the difference between the maximum positive and the maximum negative amplitudes of a waveform, as shown below. If there is no direct current ( DC ) component in an alternating current ( AC ) wave, then the pk-pk amplitude is twice the peak amplitude.
