6. In a 1-phase full wave bridge rectifier with M-2 type of connection has secondary side voltage Vs = Vm sin ωt,
with R load & ideal diodes.
The expression for the rms value of the output voltage can be given by
a) Vm/π
b) Vm/√2
c) Vm
d) Vm2
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The voltage waveform is a pulsating voltage with peak value Vm & symmetrical about π.
Vo = (1/π) ∫π Vm2 sin2ωt d(ωt) = Vm/√2.

7. For the circuit shown below, find the power delivered to the R load
Full wave M-2 type employs a transformer & two diodes
Where,
Vs = 230V

10. In the circuit, let Im be the peak value of the sinusoidal source current. The average value of the diode current for the below given configuration is
Full wave B-2 type uses 4 diodes in a bridge connection
a) Im
b) Im/2
c) Im/π
d) Im/√2
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The peak current through the diodes is same as that passing from the load. Each diode pair conducts for 180 degrees. Hence, 1/2 of a cycle. Average current = Im/2.
