Semiconducting Devices Question 42
Question: 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
Options:
A) 200
B) 100
C) $ \frac{200}{\sqrt{2}} $
D) 280
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ V _{rms}=\frac{V _{0}}{2}=\frac{200}{2}=100V $
