Answer :
Final answer:
The form factor for a half wave rectifier, which is the ratio of RMS to average output voltage, equates to approximately 1.11. Therefore the correct option is A
Explanation:
The form factor in the case of a half wave rectifier can be calculated by taking the ratio of the root mean square (RMS) value of the output voltage to the average value of the output voltage. The RMS value for a half wave rectifier is equal to Vpeak/√2, and the average value is equal to Vpeak/π. When we take the ratio of these two (RMS/Average), we get √2/π, which when calculated gives us approximately 1.11.
