A full-wave rectifier circuit with a 1-k load operates from a 120-V (rms) 60-Hz household supply through a 6-to-1 transformer having a center-tapped secondary winding. It uses two silicon diodes that can be modeled to have a 0.7-V drop for all currents. Augment this rectifier circuit with a capacitor chosen to provide a peak-to-peak ripple voltage of (i) 10% of the peak output and (ii) 1% of the peak output. In each case: (a) What average output voltage results? (b) What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct? (c) What is the average diode current? (d) What is the peak diode current?

Electrical Heating Unit

The conversion of electrical energy to heat energy is known as electric heating. The heating system that converts the electrical energy to heat energy for various application is called electrical heating unit. Electricity is employed as the firing mechanism in electric heating systems, which transforms electric current to heat. Electric heaters have heating elements in the form of electric resistors.
