What does generally the load resistance signify in half wave rectifier circuit diagram?

Solution
A simple Half Wave Rectifier is nothing more than a single pn junction diode connected in series to the load resistor. If you look at the above diagram, we are giving an alternating current as input. Input voltage is given to a step down transformer and the resulting reduced output of transformer is given to the diode ‘D’ and load resistor RL. The output voltage is measured across load resistor RL.
