This document summarizes calculations related to the average current (Irav) of a rectified alternating current over one quarter of its cycle. It shows that:
1) The current is zero at times t1=π/2ω and t2=3π/2ω, with a time difference of π/ω.
2) The integral of the current from t1 to t2 equals 2I/ω.
3) Therefore, the average current Irav over this quarter cycle is 2I/π.
