Rectification, Smoothing and Transformer
 

Rectification, Smoothing and Transformer problem 10


A student is asked to design a circuit by which a direct voltage of peak value is obtained from a alternating supply. The student uses a transformer that may be considered to be ideal and a bridge rectifier incorporating four ideal diodes. The partially completed circuit diagram is shown in the figure below.




  • On the figure above, draw symbols for the four diodes so as to produce the polarity across the load as shown on the diagram.


  • Calculate the ratio
