In a half-wave rectifier using a $PN$ junction diode,the input voltage has an amplitude of $25 \ V$ and a frequency of $50 \ Hz$. No filter is used,and the load resistance is $1000 \ \Omega$. The forward resistance of the diode is $10 \ \Omega$. Calculate the peak,average,and $rms$ values of the load current,respectively.
