Full wave voltage reading
Joule is the quantity of energy neceassar for heatin 1g of water up to
+1° at 4°.
Watt is the power related to J but per second.

The DC that I'm trying to measure is the
output of a bridge. It's RMS value will just be the RMS value of the AC
input, less 2 diode drops. Unless I'm missing something ... not unheard of.
** Now you are thinking well into the problem.
The rms value is the equivalent heating effect of a wave expressed as a number.
So, the addition of a bridge between an AC supply and it's load has little effect on the heat in that load except for losses in the bridge.
Ergo, nearly the same rms value.
