Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a half-wave rectifier with an input AC voltage of 120V RMS. Calculate the average DC output voltage.

💡 Hint: Always recall the conversion from RMS to peak voltage first.

Question 2

Given a Zener diode with V_Z = 5.1V and you want to ensure it operates safely at a maximum of 20mA. What should be the power rating?

💡 Hint: Consider the power rating needs to be higher than calculated to ensure safety.
