1. For the controlled half-wave rectifier with resistive load, the source is 120 V rms at 60 Hz. The
resistance is 100 𝛺, and the delay angle 𝛼 is 45°. (a) Determine the average voltage across
the resistor. (b) Determine the power absorbed by the resistor. (c) Determine the power factor
as seen by the source.
2. For the circuit of Fig. 2-1, the source is 120 V rms at 60 Hz, 𝑅 = 20 𝛺, 𝐿 = 0.04 𝐻, and the delay
angle is 45° Determine (a) an expression for 𝑖(𝜔𝑡), (b) the average current, (c) the power
absorbed by the load, and (d) the power factor.

3. A controlled half-wave rectifier has an ac source of 240 V rms at 60 Hz. The load is a 30 𝛺
resistor. (a) Determine the delay angle such that the average load current is 2.5 A. (b)
Determine the power absorbed by the load. (c) Determine the power factor.
4. A certain situation requires that either 160 or 75 W be supplied to a 48 V battery from a 120 V
rms 60 Hz ac source. There is a two-position switch on a control panel set at either 160 or
75. Design a single circuit to deliver both values of power, and specify what the control switch
will do. Specify the values of all the components in your circuit. The internal resistance of the
battery is 0.1 𝛺.
