Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a half-wave rectifier circuit to be powered by a 240V AC mains supply. Calculate the peak output voltage and the average DC output, given a silicon diode with a forward voltage drop of 0.7V.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert RMS to peak voltage.
Question 2
Analyze the performance of a half-wave rectifier with a load resistance of 1kΩ. Given input AC frequency of 50Hz, find the ripple frequency, and discuss how you would improve the output to reduce ripple.
💡 Hint: Consider filter capacitor locations and impacts.
