Explanation: During the negative half diode is not conducting hence Vr (voltage across the resistor) = 0. Vo = Vdc. 8. When a diode is connected in series with an AC source & R load, the conduction time per cycle is
A. 0
B. 2π
C. π
D. π/2
Answer:A
Explanation: During the negative half diode is not conducting hence Vr (voltage across the resistor) = 0. Vo = Vdc. 8. When a diode is connected in series with an AC source & R load, the conduction time per cycle is
A. 0 B. 2π C. π D. π/2
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
