The single-phase half-wave rectifier is supplied directly from a 120-V (rms), 60-Hz

The single-phase half-wave rectifier is supplied directly from a 120-V (rms), 60-Hz source through a step-down transformer with turns ratio n = 10 : 1. The load resistance Rp is 10 n. Determine (a) the average output voltage Vo(av) , (b) the average load current Io(as).(c) the rms load voltage Vo(rmu) , (d) the rms load current Io(rms), (e) the ripple factor RF of the output voltage, (f) the rms ripple voltage Ve(ms). (s) the average diode current Ip(au) (h) the rms diode current Ip(rms), (1) the peak inverse voltage PIV of the diode, (j) the average output power Po(AC), (k) the DC output power Po(Dc), and (I) the frequency f, of the output ripple voltage.
