Solution

The correct option is A I₀ / π
The average value of output direct current in a half wave rectifier is

= $\frac{(average value of current over a cycle)}{2}$

= $\frac{(\frac{2 I_{0}}{π})}{2} = \frac{I_{0}}{π}$

If $i_{0}, i_{r m s} a n d i_{m e a n}$ are the values of peak, rms and mean currents of a.c, then

I = I_{o} (\frac{t}{T})

t = 0

t = T

i = i_{0} + 3 α t^{2}

i_{0} = 10 A

α = \frac{1}{2} A / s e c^{2}

t = 0

t = 2 s
