A. Vm
B. 2Vm
C. 3Vm
D. Vm/2
Answer:A
The PIV experienced by each of the diodes for the below shown rectifier configuration is
A. Vm B. 2Vm C. 3Vm D. Vm/2
Explanation: When any diode is reversed biased due to the negative half cycle, the maximum peak value through it will be Vm. 2. For the circuit shown in the figure below,
