(a) peak to peak value

(b) RMS value

(c) average value

(d) effective value

The question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This question is from Voltage and Current Values of a Sine Wave in section Introduction to Alternating Currents and Voltages of Network Theory

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) average value

To elaborate: The total area under the complete curve divided by the distance of the curve is called average value. The average value of a sine wave over on e complete cycle is always zero.
