For half sine wave, the RMS value

Therefore,

From factor,

Example 3.3 Calculate the RMS value, average value and form factor of a

half-rectified square voltage shown in Fig. 3.10.

Figure 3.10 Circuit diagram of example 3.3

Solution:

For half-rectified wave,

Here, T = 0.2, n =10 V

Therefore,
