It is not a sine wave. Square waves have the RMS equal to peak voltage. You have to accept this at A level.
For sawtooth voltage , for example, its RMS=Vo/( square root of 3). And so on.
You can check it out at wikipedia if you want to know the detail explanation

Ok thank you I never knew about this.
Oh and could anybody please explain eddy currents to me ? I don't really get them where do they come from what do they do ... ??

Actually there is another way to think of it. First what is the rms value - its the Root Mean Square value
that means you Square all the values first (when you square - you'll get the value of 9 [both the -ve and +ve part])
then you take the Mean (mean of 9 is just 9 :D)
and last you take the Root (square root of 9 is 3 !! ;))
