Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a full-wave bridge rectifier circuit to output at least 20V DC from an AC input of 15V RMS. Take into account the voltage drops of the silicon diodes and calculate the necessary voltage characteristics.
💡 Hint: Consider how the diode voltage drop affects the peak output voltage.
Question 2
Account for the performance variance of a center-tapped full-wave rectifier under load. If it outputs 15V DC under a 5Ω load, what is the equivalent load resistance range if the input AC is increased, keeping the ripple factor within acceptable levels?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between load resistance and ripple factor.
