DC average current of a half wave rectifier output is ___________ (Where Im is the maximum peak current of input)

DC average current of a half wave rectifier output is ___________ (Where Im is the maximum peak current of input) Correct Answer Im/ᴨ

Average DC current of half wave rectifier is Im/ᴨ . Since output of half wave rectifier contains only one half of the input. The average value is the half of the area of one half cycle of sine wave with peak Im. This is equal to Im/ᴨ. Thus this is calculated by Area of graph of current/Perion. IDC=1/2π∫idx between 0 to 2π. This is equal to Im/ᴨ.
