SUMMARY
The current in the primary coil of transformers used in full wave rectifier circuits adheres to the relationship V(s)I(s) = V(p)I(p), but the specific values to use depend on the calculation required. For peak and RMS current calculations, the peak voltage is applicable, while the average current over a complete cycle mathematically results in zero due to the sine wave nature of the current. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate transformer current analysis.
