Q1. The turns ratio of a transformer used in a half-wave rectifier circuit is N1 : N2 = 12:
[CO2] 1. The primary is connected to the power mains (220 V, 50 Hz). Assuming the diode
resistance in forward bias to be zero, calculate the dc voltage across the load. Also
determine the PIV of the diode. [Ans. 8.25 V, 25.93 V]
Q2. A half-wave rectifier circuit uses a silicon diode with rf = 10 Ω and V T = 0.7 V. The load
[CO2] connected at the output is RL = 500 Ω. The transformer has N1/N2 = 10/1. If the primary is
connected to the ac mains supply (220 V, 50 Hz), calculate
(a) the dc current through the load,
(b) the rectification efficiency, and
(c) the PIV rating of the diode.

Q4. The primary winding of the step-down transformer of a bridge rectifier is connected to ac
[CO2] mains (220 V, 50 Hz). It uses silicon diodes, with VT = 0.7 V. If it is desired to obtain a
maximum dc voltage of 15 V from this circuit, find the turns ratio of the transformer.

[CO2] V, rf= 10 Ω, RR = ∞, VZ = very large.
The secondary winding of the transformer has a resistance RS = 10 Ω. A load of 970
Ω is connected across its output. If the voltage across the secondary is v s = 20 sin
ωt volts, determine
(a) PIV rating of the diodes,
(b) dc current through the load,
(c) dc power supplied to the load, and
(d) conversion efficiency of the circuit.

the maximum current rating.
