Question
A half-wave rectifier develops $20 \mathrm{~V}$ dc. What is the value of the ripple voltage?
Step 1
A half-wave rectifier allows only one half of the input AC voltage to pass through, while the other half is blocked. This results in a pulsating DC voltage output. Show more…

Determine the DC value of a full-wave rectifier whose input is 5sin(120πt) volts
A half-wave rectifier with RL = 1kΩ is given an input of 20 V peak from a step-down transformer. The value of DC load current using a silicon diode is
Consider the half-wave rectifier shown in Figure 10,26 on page $493,$ The ac source has an rms value of $20 \mathrm{V}$ and a frequency of $60 \mathrm{Hz}$. The diodes are ideal, and the capacitance is very large, so the ripple voltage $V$ is very small. The load is a $100-3$ resistance Determine the peak inverse voltage across the diode and the charge that passes through the diode per cycle.
