Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A silicon PN junction diode has a reverse bias of 50V. What will happen if this reverse voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage, and how can this impact the diode's functionality?

💡 Hint: Consider the maximum ratings for diodes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate the required capacitance for a full-wave rectifier circuit that must maintain a ripple voltage of no more than 1V with a load current of 50 mA at a frequency of 100 Hz.

💡 Hint: Utilize the ripple voltage equation correctly.
