Vo = 2Vm/π. 10. In the circuit, let Im be the peak value of the sinusoidal source current. The average value of the diode current for the below given configuration is
A. Im
B. Im/2
C. Im/π
D. Im/√2
Answer:A
Vo = 2Vm/π. 10. In the circuit, let Im be the peak value of the sinusoidal source current. The average value of the diode current for the below given configuration is
A. Im B. Im/2 C. Im/π D. Im/√2
Explanation: The peak current through the diodes is same as that passing from the load. Each diode pair conducts for 180 degrees. Hence, 1/2 of a cycle. Average current = Im/2. Sanfoundry Global Education & Learning Series – Power Electronics.
