    When a voltage measuring device is connected to AC mains, the meter shows the steady input voltage of 220 V this means

    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 :

    Option [c] is correct
    Explanation: The voltmeter in AC circuit reads value <\[{{v}^{2}}\]> and meter is calibrated to rms value <\[{{v}^{2}}\]> which is multiplied by \[\sqrt{2}\] to get \[{{V}_{rm{{s}^{.}}}}\]In other words, voltmeter connected to the AC main read root mean square value of AC voltage, i.e., \[\sqrt{<{{v}^{2}}>}\].
