^ Since capacitive reactance causes current to lead voltage and inductive reactance causes current to lag voltage, the two reactance’s are opposite in effect.

It is so
called because its
root mean square value is 230 V. This
means that the time-averaged power delivered is equivalent to the
power delivered by a DC voltage of 230 V. To determine the peak
voltage (amplitude), we can rearrange the above equation to:
For our 230 V AC, the peak voltage
Vpeak is
therefore
,
which is about 325 V. The peak-to-peak value
of the 230 V AC is double that, at about 650 V.
