Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an AC input of 12V (RMS) to a full-wave rectifier, calculate the expected average output voltage if each diode incurs a forward voltage drop of 0.7V.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to consider the diode drops when calculating the output.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how a sudden increase in load resistance affects ripple voltage and discuss the potential application impacts in a circuit.

💡 Hint: Think about how capacitance reacts to different current loads.
