    Chapter 2

    1) A certain 7805 regulator has a measured no-load output voltage of 5.18 V


    and a full load output of 5.15 V. What is the load regulation expressed as a
    percentage?
    Ans

    5.18 − 5.15
    = 𝑥𝑥100 = 0.58%
    5.15

    2) If the no-load output voltage of a regulator is 24.8 V and the full-load output
    is 23.9 V, what is the load regulation expressed as a percentage?

    24.8 − 23.9
    = 𝑥𝑥100 = 3.77%
    23.9

    3) When a 60 Hz sinusoidal voltage is applied to the input of a half-wave


    rectifier, what is the output frequency?

    The output frequency is= 60Hz


    4) When a 60 Hz sinusoidal voltage is applied to the input of a full-wave
    rectifier, what is the output frequency? Why?

    The output frequency is= 120Hz


    The output signal completes a period twice as fast as the input frequency,
    because the input wave is symmetrical, half positive and half negative. Making
    all the negative components into positive ones doubles the positive components.
    If the positive cycles are double the frequency will double.

    5) Calculate the peak voltage across each half of a center-tapped transformer


    used in a full-wave rectifier that has an average output voltage of 120 V.
    Assuming the practical model (factoring voltage drop across diodes but not the
    diodes' dynamic resistance)...

    2𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝(𝑜𝑜𝑢𝑢𝑢𝑢 )
    𝑉𝑉𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 =
    𝜋𝜋
    120 × 𝜋𝜋
    𝑉𝑉𝑝𝑝(𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 ) = = 188.5 𝑉𝑉
    2
    The voltage across each half of the center-tapped transformer is just half of
    Vsec:

    =93.55 v

    6) What PIV rating is required for the diodes in a bridge rectifier that produces
    an average output voltage of 50 V?

    7) The rms output voltage of a bridge rectifier is 20 V. What is the peak inverse
    voltage across the diodes?
    Vp(out) =√2 V p(out) rms
    =√2 ×20
    =28.284 V

    8) A certain rectifier filter produces a dc output voltage of 75 V with a peak-to-


    peak ripple voltage of 0.5 V. Calculate the ripple factor.

    9) A certain full-wave rectifier has a peak output voltage of 30 V. A 50 F


    capacitor-input filter is connected to the rectifier. Calculate the peak-to-peak
    ripple and the dc output voltage developed across a load resistance 600Ω
    10) What is the percentage of ripple for the rectifier filter in Problem 11?

    11) What value of filter capacitor is required to produce a 1% ripple factor


    for a full-wave rectifier having a load resistance of 1.5 kΩ .Assume the
    rectifier produces a peak output of 18 V.

    12) A full-wave rectifier produces an 80 V peak rectified voltage from a 60


    Hz ac source. If a filter capacitor is used, determine the ripple factor for a
    load resistance of 10 kΩ.

    13) Determine the peak-to-peak ripple and dc output voltages in Figure . The
    transformer has a 36 V rms secondary voltage rating, and the line voltage has
    a frequency of 60 Hz.
    14) If the no-load output voltage of a regulator is 15.5 V and the full-load
    output is 14.9 V, what is the percent load regulation?

    15) Assume a regulator has a percent load regulation of 0.5%. What is the
    output voltage at full load if the unloaded output is 12.0 V?

    True or false:

    a) Each diode in a full-wave rectifier conducts for the entire input


    cycle.(F)
    b) The output frequency of a full-wave rectifier is twice the input
    frequency.(T)
    c) A bridge rectifier uses four diodes.(T)
    d) In a bridge rectifier, two diodes conduct during each half cycle
    of the input..(T)
    e) The purpose of the capacitor filter in a rectifier is to convert ac
    to dc.(F)
    f) The output voltage of a filtered rectifier always has some ripple
    voltage.(T)
    g) A smaller filter capacitor reduces the ripple.(F)

    Short answer:
    What is a dc power supply?
    The part of the equipment that converts ac into dc is called dc power supply.

    Q2. What is a rectifier?


    A rectifier is a device which converts alternating current (or voltage) into
    unidirectional current (or voltage).

    What is PIV of a diode in a rectifier circuit?


    Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is the maximum possible voltage that occurs across
    a diode when it is reverse biased.

    Q4. What is the importance of peak inverse voltage?


    If the applied voltage in reverse biased condition exceeds peak inverse voltage
    (PIV) rating of the diode, then the diode may get damaged.

    Q5. Why half-wave rectifiers are generally not used in dc power supply?
    The type of supply available from half-wave rectifier is not satisfactory for
    general power supply. That is why it is generally not used in dc power supply.

    Q6. Why diodes are not operated in the breakdown region in rectifiers?
    In breakdown region, a diode has a risk of getting damaged or burnt because the
    magnitude of current flowing through it increases in an uncontrollable manner.
    That is why diodes are not operated in the breakdown region in rectifiers.

    Q7. Define ripple as referred to in a rectifier circuit.


    The ac component contained in the pulsating output of a rectifier is known as
    ripple.
    Q8. The output of a 60Hz full-wave bridge rectifier has a 60 Hz ripple. It
    this circuit working properly?
    A full-wave rectifier with 60Hz input must have lowest ripple frequency equal
    to twice the input frequency i.e. 120Hz. If the ripple frequency is 60Hz, it
    means some diodes in the circuit are not working.

    Q9. What is meant by filter?


    Filter is a device that converts pulsating output of rectifier into a steady dc level.

    Q10. Why capacitor input filter is preferred to choke input filter?


    In capacitor input filter, the dc output is much larger and ripples are less in
    comparison to those in choke input filter. So, capacitor input filter is preferred
    to choke input filter.
