Hi,
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to calculate the RMS current through a diode on a bridge rectifier w/capacitor, starting with an expression for the current using sin and cos, I am completely stuck on how to do this.
These equations are given which are from wiki:

Once this is found I am meant to calculate the rms current through the single phase synchronous generator which follows a cosine v=Vpcoswt. the voltage at the terminals is perfectly sinusoidal and all components are assumed ideal.
Would appreciate any help!
thanks!
