Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a circuit using a Zener diode as a voltage regulator, detailing component values based on a given input range (10V to 15V) and specifying current ratings.

💡 Hint: Consider both minimum and maximum conditions for accurate calculations.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the efficiency difference between half-wave and full-wave rectifiers based on their ripple output and explain the benefits of using full-wave rectification in a power supply circuit.

💡 Hint: Remember that full-wave captures both halves of the AC waveform.
