Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a Zener regulator for a 12V output using a 15V source and a Zener diode rated for 12V with a series resistor. Calculate the necessary resistance considering the max load current of 50mA.

💡 Hint: Remember to account for the worst-case power dissipation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Compare efficiencies of a half-wave rectifier and a full-wave rectifier in theoretical versus practical implementation. Discuss factors influencing these efficiencies.

💡 Hint: Consider how ripple voltage impacts real-world applications.
