SOLVED: The full-wave rectifier of Fig. 4-6 has a 60-Hz AC source with V = 100 V. It is to supply a load that requires a DC voltage of 100 V and will draw 0.5 A. Determine the filter capacitance required to limit the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple to 1 percent of the DC output. Determine the peak and average diode currents.

Bridge Full-Wave Rectifier - Practical Demonstration

SOLVED:A full-wave rectifier (Fig, 40) uses two diodes to rectify a 95- V rms 60 Hz ac voltage. If R=7.8 k Ωand C=36 μF , what will be the approximate percent variation in the output voltage? The variation in output voltage (Fig. 40 c ) is called ripple voltage. [ Hint: Assume the discharge of the capacitor is approximately linear.]
