SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the derivation of the RMS (Root Mean Square) voltage from the peak voltage (Vpk) for a true sine wave, specifically stating that Vrms = Vpk / √2. Fawzi seeks a detailed proof of this relationship. The conversation confirms that this formula is valid exclusively for sine waves, and resources are provided for further understanding of RMS calculations.
