(RMS) value obtained by taking the square
root of the mean (average) of the squares of
a set of values; for example the RMS value of
four quantities a, b, c, and d is `sqrt'[(a^2
+ b^2 + c^2 + d^2)/4]. For an alternating
current (AC), the RMS value is equal to the
peak value divided by the square root of 2.
