Step-by-step solution

Okay, let's evaluate the integral shown in the image (Equation 4.3). This integral represents the total area under the current curve for a half-cycle of a half-wave rectified signal.

Evaluate the integral for output current over half a cycle:
The integral given is:

∫0πVmsin⁡(ωt)RD+RLd(ωt)\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{V_m \sin(\omega t)}{R_D + R_L} d(\omega t)
  1. Identify constants.

    The terms VmV_m, RDR_D, and RLR_L are constants with respect to the integration variable ωt\omega t. We can pull them out of the integral.

    VmRD+RL∫0πsin⁡(ωt)d(ωt)\frac{V_m}{R_D + R_L} \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin(\omega t) d(\omega t)
  2. Integrate sin⁡(ωt)\sin(\omega t).

    The integral of sin⁡(x)\sin(x) with respect to xx is −cos⁡(x)-\cos(x).

    ∫0πsin⁡(ωt)d(ωt)=[−cos⁡(ωt)]0π\int_{0}^{\pi} \sin(\omega t) d(\omega t) = [-\cos(\omega t)]_{0}^{\pi}
  3. Apply the limits of integration.

    Substitute the upper limit (π\pi) and the lower limit (0) into the result of the integration.

    [−cos⁡(ωt)]0π=(−cos⁡(π))−(−cos⁡(0))[-\cos(\omega t)]_{0}^{\pi} = (-\cos(\pi)) - (-\cos(0))

    We know that cos⁡(π)=−1\cos(\pi) = -1 and cos⁡(0)=1\cos(0) = 1.

    =(−(−1))−(−1)= (-(-1)) - (-1) =1+1= 1 + 1 =2= 2
  4. Combine the results.

    Multiply the constant term by the result of the definite integral.

    VmRD+RL×2\frac{V_m}{R_D + R_L} \times 2 =2VmRD+RL= \frac{2 V_m}{R_D + R_L}

    The value of the integral representing the output current over half a cycle is 2VmRD+RL\boxed{\frac{2 V_m}{R_D + R_L}}.
