This is wrong. If you use full wave formula:
Valve = 2Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = 2Vpeak/3.14160 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 18.8496 (full wave).
For full wave Vrms:
Vrms = Vpeak/sqrt 2 = 18.8496/sqrt 2 = 13.13 (Vrms for full wave).
The correct formula for half wave is:
Valve = Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = Vpeak/3.1416 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 37.6992.
For Vrms half wave its:
Vrms = Vpeak/2 => 37.6992/2 = 18.84.
Valve = 2Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = 2Vpeak/3.14160 (Shift solve).
Vpeak = 18.8496 (full wave).
For full wave Vrms:
Vrms = Vpeak/sqrt 2 = 18.8496/sqrt 2 = 13.13 (Vrms for full wave).
The correct formula for half wave is:
Valve = Vpeak/3.1416 => 12 = Vpeak/3.1416 (Shift solve).

Vrms = Vpeak/2 => 37.6992/2 = 18.84.

We are not use half wave formula because in electrical method also use full wave formula because in case of electrical we are use in wark 5volt minimum value and more than,
5volt <12volt. So we are useful wave formula.
Iavg.=12volt,
Im=12*3.14÷2=18.84
Irms=18.84÷1.41=13.36.
5volt <12volt. So we are useful wave formula.
Iavg.=12volt,
Im=12*3.14÷2=18.84
Irms=18.84÷1.41=13.36.

The answer must be 18.85.
Let me explain,
For half wave rectifier:
Vave = Vpk/π
12v = Vpk / 3.14,
12*3.14 = Vpk,
Vpk = 37.699V.
To get rms of half wave rectifer:
vrms(halfwave) = vpk/2.
Vrms(half wave) = 37.699/2.
Vrms = 18.85V.

Average voltage;
Vavg=Vmax/π=12v ----> 1.
We found rms voltage = Vrms=Vmax/2 ------> 2.
From equation 1 Vmax=Vavg x π
= 12 x π
= 12 x 3.14,
= 37.68.
Applying equation 2 Vrms=Vmax/2.
= 37.68/2 .
=18.84.
Vavg=Vmax/π=12v ----> 1.

Given;
V avg = 12 V.
Formula taken w.r.f to Full wave rectifier.
Vavg = 2*V max / pi.
Vmax = (V avg * 3.14)/2.
Vmax = (12 * 3.14)/2.
Vmax = 18.84 V.
Vrms = V max /sq.root of (2).
Vrms = 18.84 /1.414.
Vrms = 13.323 V.
V avg = 12 V.

Half Cycle means Half cycle flow in output so it is a half wave rectifier
So avverage voltage of half wave rectifier is =Vm/π.
So Vm =3.14*12,
Vm=26.64,
So rms value of HALF wave is Vm/2,
So 26.64/2=13.33.
So avverage voltage of half wave rectifier is =Vm/π.
So Vm =3.14*12,
Vm=26.64,
So rms value of HALF wave is Vm/2,
So 26.64/2=13.33.

Answer is 18.84v.
Explanation:
For Half Wave Cycle Vrms = Vm/2.
and Vm = Vavg x π where π = 3.14 and Vavg = 12v,
So Vm = 12 x 3.14 = 37.68.
and
Vrms = Vm/2 = 37.68/2 = 18.84v.
Vrms = 18.84v.
Explanation:
For Half Wave Cycle Vrms = Vm/2.
and Vm = Vavg x π where π = 3.14 and Vavg = 12v,
So Vm = 12 x 3.14 = 37.68.
and
Vrms = Vm/2 = 37.68/2 = 18.84v.
Vrms = 18.84v.

If we talk a Avverage voltage of a complete sine wave then it is 0
So we need to Take Avvg Voltage =0.637*Vm.
Vm = 18.84,
RMS=Vm/√2.
18.84/1.414,
=13.33.
So we need to Take Avvg Voltage =0.637*Vm.
Vm = 18.84,
RMS=Vm/√2.
18.84/1.414,
=13.33.

You all are applying formula for full cycle, but in question we asked to find rms for half cycle. If we apply formula for the half cycle answer may be wrong.

Avg.value = 0.636*Max.value.
Max.value = 12/0.636 = 18.86.
but,
RMS value = Max.value/1.414.
RMS value = 18.86/1.414=13.34.
So, the option is [A].
Max.value = 12/0.636 = 18.86.
but,
RMS value = Max.value/1.414.
RMS value = 18.86/1.414=13.34.
So, the option is [A].
