What is the definition of A.C current?
Alternating Current (A.C) is a type of electrical current in which the direction of the flow of electrons switches back and forth every half cycle.

What does Irms stand for?
Irms is the root mean square current.
It is the effective value of an alternating current, equivalent to the direct current that would produce the same power dissipation in a resistive load.

What is the heating effect of a current?
The heating effect of a current refers to the generation of heat in a conductor when electric current flows through it.
This is due to the resistance in the conductor.

What is the formula that links average power, rms current (Irms), and rms voltage (Vrms)?
P = power (W)
Irms = root mean square current (A)
Vrms = root mean square voltage (V)

What is the formula linking the root mean square voltage (Vrms), and the peak voltage (V0)?
Vrms = root mean square voltage (V)
V0 = peak voltage (V)
