The internal efficiency of a mercury arc rectifier depends on___________?

Correct answer: A. voltage only

  • A. voltage only
  • B. current only
  • C. voltage and current
  • D. r.m.s. value of current
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

Internal efficiency is mainly determined by the ratio of the useful rectified voltage to the supply voltage, so it depends primarily on voltage. The current-related terms largely cancel when the efficiency ratio is formed.
