Q

rms for an alternating voltage/current

A

The rms potential difference is the AC potential difference which dissipates/produces
the same amount of energy as an equivalent DC potential difference.
The rms current is the alternating current which dissipates/produces the same amount
of energy as an equivalent direct current (DC).
