Refer to the charging network of Fig. 17.13.
a. Determine the dc level of the full-wave rectified signal if a 1: 1 transformer is employed.
b. If the battery in its uncharged state is sitting at 11 V, what is the anode-to-cathode voltage drop across SCR1?
c. What is the maximum possible value of VR (VGK ( 0.7 V)?
d. At the maximum value of part (c), what is the gate potential of SCR2?
e. Once SCR2 has entered the short-circuit state, what is the level of V2?
