Two statements describe the UK mains electricity supply:

The peak potential difference between the live wire and the neutral wire is $VpeakV_{\text{peak}}$ .
The potential difference between the neutral wire and the earth wire is $VNEV_{\text{NE}}$ .

Which of the following correctly identifies the values of $VpeakV_{\text{peak}}$ and $VNEV_{\text{NE}}$ ?

$VV_{\text{peak}} = 230\text{ V}$ , $VV_{\text{NE}} = 0\text{ V}$

$VV_{\text{peak}} = 325\text{ V}$ , $VV_{\text{NE}} = 0\text{ V}$

$VV_{\text{peak}} = 325\text{ V}$ , $VV_{\text{NE}} = 230\text{ V}$

$VV_{\text{peak}} = 460\text{ V}$ , $VV_{\text{NE}} = 0\text{ V}$
