Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are designing a full-wave rectifier. If your transformer gives a peak voltage of 12V and your load resistor draws an average current of 100mA, what size filter capacitor would you need to keep ripple voltage below 0.5V?
💡 Hint: Consider both the frequency of your AC source and the ripple voltage you wish to maintain.
How would you calculate the peak inverse voltage (PIV) for a full-wave rectifier? Given you have a transformer with a 15V AC secondary output.
💡 Hint: Consider how to convert RMS voltage to peak voltage.
