In a centre tap full-wave rectifier, if Vm is the peak voltage across the secondary coil of a transformer, the maximum voltage across the reverse bias is:
Correct answer: C. 2Vm
- A. Vm
- B. Vm/√2
- C. 2Vm
- D. Vm/3
Explanation
For the explanation, presented below;FB stands for 'Forward Biased',KVL stands for Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, which is Kirchhoff's second law that deals with the conservation of energy around a closed circuit path.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
