Half wave voltage multipliers can provide what degree of voltage multiplication?
Correct answer: C. Any multiplication
- A. Any doubler
- B. Any tripler
- C. Any multiplication
- D. None of them
Explanation
A voltage multiplier is a specialized rectifier circuit producing an output that is theoretically an integer times the AC peak input, for example, 2, 3, or 4 times the AC peak input. Thus, it is possible to get 200 VDC from a 100 Vpeak AC source using a doubler, and 400 VDC from a quadrupler. Any load in a practical circuit will lower these voltages.

About Alternating Current
Alternating current varies periodically, so phase relationships become essential when current passes through a resistor, capacitor or inductor. The chapter distinguishes resistance from capacitive and inductive reactance, explains phase lead and lag, and connects changing electric and magnetic fields with the production and properties of electromagnetic waves.
