2. (a) Plot the input/output characteristics of the circuits depicted in the following Fig.
using an ideal model for the diodes. Assume VB = 2V.
(b) If the input is given by Vin = V0 cos ωt, plot the output of each circuit in the
following Fig as a function of time. Assume an ideal diode model.
3. (a) In the circuits of following Fig, plot the current flowing through R1 as a function of
Vin. Assume a constant-voltage diode model.
(b) For the circuits illustrated in following Fig, plot Vout as a function of time if Iin = I0
cos ωt. Assume a constant-voltage model and a relatively large I0.
(c) Assuming a constant-voltage diode model,plot Vout as a function of Iin for the circuits
shown in Fig.
4. While constructing a full-wave rectifier, a student mistakenly has swapped the
terminals of D3 as depicted in following Fig. Explain what happens.
5. Afull-wave rectifier is driven by a sinusoidal input Vin = V0 cos ωt, where V0 = 3 V and
ω = 2π(60 Hz). Assuming VD,on = 800 mV, determine the ripple amplitude with a
1000-μF smoothing capacitor and a load resistance of 30 Ω.
