Question

For an input signal of \( V_{1}=10 \operatorname{Sin} \omega t \),draw the output waveform of half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuit. Calculate the Average Value, RMS value, Ripple factor, and Efficiency parameters for the above output waveforms.

Answer 1

Draw the output waveform of half wave Rectifier.

Average value of Half wave rectifier  = \(\frac{V_m}{\pi}\)

 = \(\frac{10}{\pi}\) = 3.18

Output wave form of full wave rectifier

Average value of wave rectifier = \(\frac{2V_m}{\pi}\)

 = \(\frac{2\times10}{3.14}\) = 6.36

RMS value of Half wave rectifier  = \(\frac{V_m}2\) = 10/2 = 5

RMS value of Full wave rectifier = \(\frac{V_m}{\sqrt 2}\)

Ripple factor of half wave = 1.21

Ripple factor of full wave rectifier = 0.48
