No, you will see a pulsating voltage of either polarity depending on the way the diodes/bridge is wired. A ordinary d'Arsonval galvanometer is an average responding device. When fitted with a rectifier for AC measurement, it is usually calibrated for the RMS of a symmetric sine wave about zero. That means it cannot measure correctly the value of any other waveform directly.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you take 180 volts AC and rectify and do nothing else ,do you have 180 DC..??
