Homework Statement
This is more of a conceptual problem I'm having difficulty getting my head around.
What is the difference between Iaverage and Irms for a rectified and non rectified AC circuit?
I know Iaverage=(2/π)Imax while Irms=(1/√2)Imax but I don't understand why they are different given that both are essentially measuring the area under the same curve, rectified or not.
