Half wave rectifier

Case 1: During +ve half cycle

Diode is forward biased, hence short-circuited

Vo = Vs

Case 2: During -ve half cycle

Diode is reverse biased, hence open-circuited

Vo = 0 

The output waveform is shown below:

The average value of a half-rectified sine wave is:

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Mistake Points Full wave rectifier

The average value of a full-rectified sine wave is:
