Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you were to design a full-wave bridge rectifier for a 50Hz input AC voltage with a 20V peak, calculate the average DC output voltage if each diode has a forward voltage drop of 0.7V.

💡 Hint: First find the peak output voltage then use the average formula.

Question 2

Discuss how the choice of diodes impacts the performance of a full-wave bridge rectifier in terms of voltage drop and efficiency.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the significance of forward voltage in the entire circuit.
