Question

The peak voltage in the output of a half-wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is $10\, V$. The DC component of the output voltage is

• A. $\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}V$
• B. $\frac{10}{\pi }V$
• C. $10\,V$
• D. $\frac{20}{\pi }\,V$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\frac{10}{\pi }V$

Answer 2

For half wave diode rectifier (HWR) $V _{ dc }=\frac{ V _{0}}{\pi}=\frac{10}{\pi}$ volts
