The average voltage across the load in terms of Vmax is which of the following?

Correct answer: B. 0.637Vmax

  • A. 0.532 Vmax
  • B. 0.637Vmax
  • C. 0. 759Vmax
  • D. 0.437Vmax

Explanation

Option B is correct since the current flowing through the load is unidirectional, so the voltage developed across the load is also unidirectional the same as for the previous two diode full-wave rectifiers, therefore the average DC voltage across the load is 0.637Vmax.

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.
