Btw, may I know what is the current for the load R? Is the total current or only half of the current since every single diode will be On and Off for every 180 degree of waveform applied.
hi,
The instantaneous current through the load is the ratio of potential difference between the center tapped terminal and either of the terminal of tranformer to the load resistance
Its a simple application of ohms law

Legend! What legend, I never heard about this? Why was I not told about the legendary RMS story? Perhaps I fell asleep after Conan the Barbarian lecture.
hi,
If the n:1 ratio applies to the full secondary winding then it is correct to assume that V2= Vs/2(V2)
For example say the primary was wound for 240Vrms with a turns ratio of say 10:1, there would be 24Vrms across the ends of the two windings in series.
That means measured from the centre tap [CT] to either end would be 12Vrms.
Note: the phase of voltage for opposite ends of the secondary relative to the centre tap would be 180 deg phase difference.
