A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 200 volt is connected to a diode and resistor R in the circuit shown so that half wave rectification occurs. If the forward resistance of the diode is negligible compared to R the rms voltage (in volt) across R is approximately –
A
200
B
100
C
2200
D
280
Answer
100
Explanation
Solution
(Vr.m.s.) H.W.R. = 2V0 = 2200 = 100 volt
