QUESTIONS:
1. Silicon diodes are used in a two-diode full-wave rectifier circuit to supply a load with 15
volts DC and a source voltage is 220 volts, 60 Hz. Assuming ideal diodes and that the
load resistance is ohms, compute
a. The transformer secondary voltage
b. The load ripple voltage
c. The efficiency of the rectifier.
2. An unfiltered half-wave rectified develops 20 V dc. What is the value of the ripple
voltage?
3. Fill out the given Table 2.
