Full-wave bridge rectifier with capacitor filter and ripple voltage
According to various sources, the ripple voltage of a full-wave bridge rectifier is
$$ V_r = \frac{V_s}{2}fCR $$
where \$V_s\$ is the peak of the input voltage source, \$f\$ is the frequency, \$C\$ ...

Rectifier ripple voltage formula
So I thought the ripple voltage was approximated by the formula
Vr,pp = Vp / fRC
for a half-wave rectifier, and Vp/2fRC for a full-wave.
Yet simulation shows ...

Interpreting the ripple curve of a half wave rectifier
While reading about how a half wave rectified output is filtered using a capacitor, I came across the following waveforms:
corresponding to the circuit:
In the interval from 0 to , the diode is ...
