Question

What is the dc component of the output voltage if a sinusoidal signal of \(33\,\text{V}\) peak voltage is the input of a half wave diode rectifier circuit?

• A. \(3.5\,\text{V}\)
• B. \(2.9\,\text{V}\)
• C. \(10.5\,\text{V}\)
• D. \(12.5\,\text{V}\)

Hint:

Half-wave rectifier output average voltage is \(V_m/\pi\), while full-wave rectifier gives \(2V_m/\pi\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
