Question
A full-wave bridge rectifier circuit contains 4 germanium diodes (use the constant voltage drop model with \( V_D = 0.3V \)) driving a load resistance of 10kΩ. An AC voltage source with a peak value of 40V at 60Hz is applied to the circuit.

1. Determine the DC value of the output waveform.
2. Determine the value of the capacitor in μF needed to limit the output ripple voltage to 0.5V if the peak output voltage is equal to \( V_{pk} - 2V_D \).
