Half-Wave rectifier, and the constant voltage drop (0.7V) diode model
CALCULATIONS:
For Half-wave rectifier

 Im = Vm /(RL+ rf)
 Im = 10 /(1050)
 Im = 9.52 mA
 Idc= Im/ 3.14
 Idc= 9.52 m A/ 3.14
 Idc = 3.03m A
 Dc output voltage = Idc* RL = 3.03m*1000
 Dc output voltage = 3.03V
 Rms voltage = 4.76V

For Full-wave Rectifier

 Imax = Vs/(2*rf+RL)
 Imax= (10)/(2*50+1000)=9.09 m A
 Idc = 2*Imax/3.14
 Idc = 5.786 m A
 Vdc = Idc*RL
 Vdc = 5.78V
