rms

Root Mean Square. The effective value of an alternating current, corresponding to the dc value that produces the same heating effect. The rms value is computed as the square root of the average of the squares of the instantaneous amplitude for one complete cycle. For a sine wave, the rms value is 0.707 times the peak value.
