Question

Consider a peak rectifier fed by a 60-Hz
sinusoid having a peak value Vp = 100 V. Let
the load resistance R = 10 kn. Calculate the
fraction of the cycle during which the diode is
conducting
A) 1.06%
B) 2.06%
C) 3.18 %
D) 4.82%

With formula and solution

Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is C

Explanation:

w Δt ~ √(2Vr/Vp)

Θ = √(2 X 2/100)

Θ = 0.2 rad or 3.18% of the cycle
