Measuring an AC-voltage at the ouput of a full bridge rectifier


I've a full bridge rectifier and I put the following function into it:



$$5\sin(100\pi t)\tag1$$


So, at the output I get:


$$\left|(5-2V_d)\sin(100\pi t)\right|\tag2$$


Where \$V_d\$ is the voltage over one diode.


Now, why do I measure (with a Fluke multimeter) a DC-voltage of \$1.4\$ volts and an AC-voltage of \$0.5\$ volts. Why do I measure an AC-voltage, is it not completely DC?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
