How to calculate V_max value?

Answer
.
V_max (maximum voltage) depends on the context:
For AC circuits: V_max = V_rms × √2 ≈ V_rms × 1.414
- Example: Household 120V AC has V_max ≈ 170V
For DC circuits: V_max is simply the peak supply voltage
For capacitors: V_max is the breakdown voltage rating
Always refer to component specifications and circuit requirements when determining maximum voltage limits.
