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.

Yes, you are correct @Pawn.

It is, 18.84.

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.

For half cycle.

Effective voltage or RMS = 1.11*V average.

= 1.11*12 = 13.32 v.

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.

Vpick = pai* Vavrag/2.
Vpick = 3.14*12/2.
= 18.84.

Vrms = Vpick/1.414.
= 18.84/1.414.
= 13.33 V.

Form factor Kf = (rms value/half cycle average value).

Kf for sine wave 1.11.
rms value = 1.11X12= 13.33.

Can same formula work for rms and half cycle.

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.
