Yes, there is good agreement between simulation results and hand-worked results for Fig. 1(a) .the plots of Vdc and lac vs. time are very similar. The peak-to-peak and average output voltages are also very close. 2. Actual rectifier transformers have substantial leakage inductance. Comment on the effect of Ls on the circuit performance, as shown by the simulation results. Leakage inductance is an inductance that is caused by the magnetic flux that leaks out of the transformer core. Leakage inductance can have a negative impact on the circuit performance by reducing the efficiency of the circuit and increasing the voltage drop across the transformer. In the simulation results, you may see that the leakage inductance causes the voltage waveform to be less smooth. The peak-to-peak voltage may also be slightly lower than the ideal value. 3.Make a comparison between the average current in the 30-Ω load resistor and the peak current value observed in the ac source. The comparison suggests that the average current in the load resistor is significantly lower than the peak current in the AC source. This implies that the load draws current intermittently, coinciding with the conduction periods of the diodes, rather than continuously throughout the cycle.
