The input to a rectifier is typically a sinusoidal AC voltage defined as . If you are given the RMS value of the AC input (e.g.,
The RMS value represents the effective heating power of the waveform. Since the negative half-cycle is zero, the integration is: calculate output voltage half wave rectifier
