Question

The peak voltage in the output of a half wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is 10V. The d. c. component of the output voltage is :-

Answer 1

Answer:

10/π

Explanation:

A half wave rectifier is the circuit that converts one half of the alternating input voltage into the total direct voltage. The conversion is achieved by the usage of a junction diode in series with the load. Thus, during the positive cycle of the input that is the alternating voltage, the diode is forward biased and hence conducts current.

Thus, in a half wave rectifier -

= Vdc = V0/π

= 10/π

Therefore, if the peak voltage in the output of a half wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is 10V, then the d. c. component of the output voltage is 10/π.
