\mathrm{\text { Here, } r_i=10 \Omega, R_L=1500 \Omega}

Efficiency of the full wave rectifier is

\mathrm{\eta=\frac{P_{d c}}{P_{a c}}=\frac{\left(2 \mathrm{I}_m / \pi\right)^2 R_L}{\left(I_m / \sqrt{2}\right)^2\left(\mathrm{r}_f+R_L\right)}=\frac{0.812 R_L}{r_f+R_L}=\frac{0.812 \times 1500}{10+1500}=0.806=80.6 \%}
