A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 200 volt is connected to a diode and resistor R in the
circuit shown so that half-wave rectification occurs. If the forward resistance of the diode
is negligible compared to R, the r.m.s. voltage across R is approximately :

Solution:
RMS voltage for half wave rectifier is Vmax/2 = 100 Volt
