(a)
The average current in a half wave rectifier.
(a)
Answer to Problem 27P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
RMS voltage,
Resistance,
Formula used:
It is known that
Where,
Calculation:
For a half-wave rectifier without a capacitor, the current is zero for half the time.
So, the average current is
(b)
The average current in a full wave rectifier.
(b)
Answer to Problem 27P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
RMS voltage,
Resistance,
Formula used:
It is known that
Where,
Calculation:
For a full-wave rectifier without a capacitor, the current is positive all the time.
So, the average current is
