Question 1
What is the function of a center-tapped transformer in a full-wave rectifier?
- To convert AC to DC
- To step down voltage
- To provide two outputs 180 degrees out of phase
💡 Hint: Think about the phase relationship.
Question 2
Is the PIV for a center-tapped rectifier higher than for a standard half-wave rectifier?
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider how many cycles contribute to the PIV.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If you have a center-tapped full-wave rectifier with a load resistor of 100Ω and a Vsm of 40V, calculate the average DC output voltage if each diode has a forward voltage drop of 0.7V.
💡 Hint: Use the average DC voltage formulation while keeping diode drops in mind.
Question 2
A center-tapped full-wave rectifier operates with a transformer that provides 15V RMS per winding. You need to calculate the PIV for both diodes connected. If the output usually follows the load of 10Ω, what would PIV be?
💡 Hint: Remember, the PIV is double because each diode must withstand voltage from the total voltage swing.
