Explanation: The diode is forward biased for half cycle (180 degrees) and reversed biased in the another 180 degrees. Hence, per cycle it only conducts for 180 degrees or π radians. 9. When diode is connected in series to an AC source & RL load, the conduction time for the diode
A. is always less than π
B. is 0
C. is π
D. can be greater than π
Answer:A
Explanation: The diode is forward biased for half cycle (180 degrees) and reversed biased in the another 180 degrees. Hence, per cycle it only conducts for 180 degrees or π radians. 9. When diode is connected in series to an AC source & RL load, the conduction time for the diode
A. is always less than π B. is 0 C. is π D. can be greater than π
Explanation: For an R – L load, the inductively load can make the diode to force conducted hence, the conduction time can be greater than 180 degrees. 10. For the circuit shown below,
