    Rectifier Switch
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the RMS voltage for a controlled switch rectifier. A participant seeks verification of their solution attempt, referencing an attached figure. They mention a method to simplify the RMS calculation by noting that the power in a half-wave rectifier is half that of a full-wave rectifier. The RMS voltage for a full-wave rectifier is given as Vp/√2, leading to the conclusion that the RMS for a half-wave rectifier is Vp/2. The conversation emphasizes understanding the relationship between full-wave and half-wave rectification in RMS voltage calculations.

You get a straight A - from me anyway!

BTW a quick way to get rms is to realize the power in a half-wave is half that of a full wave. You know the rms of a full wave is Vp/√2 so for the half-wave it must be 1/√2 of that, or Vp/2.
