Assignment On Battery Charging-SOLUTION

The document summarizes a problem involving analyzing the operation of a half-wave battery charger circuit. It finds that the diode is on for 25% of each cycle, when the phase angle is between 45 and 135 degrees. It also determines that the peak current is 0.6 amps, occurring when the AC voltage reaches its peak and the battery voltage is being charged. Sketches of the voltage and current waveforms over time are provided.
