We know that,

\(q=\int\limits_0^{T/2}dq\)

\(q=\int\limits_0^{T/2}sin\,ωt\,dt\)

\(=I_m[-\frac{cos\,ωt}{ω}]^{\frac{T}{2}}_0\)

\(=-\frac{I_m}{ω}[cos\,ω\frac{1}{2}-cos\,0°]\)

∵ ωT = 2π

\(=\frac{2I_m}{ω}\)

\(=\frac{I_mT}{\pi}\)

The average value of a.c over one half cycle is

\(I_{av}=\frac{charge}{Time}\)

\(=\frac{q}{\frac{T}{2}}\)

\(I_{av}=\frac{2q}{T}\)

\(I_{av}=\frac{2I_mT}{T\pi}\)

\(I_{av}=\frac{2}{\pi}I_m\)

\(I_{av}=0.637 I_m\)
