Question:

A silicon diode passes significant current only if the forward-bias voltage exceeds about 0.6V. Make a rough estimate of the average current in the output resistor R of
(a) A half-wave rectifier (Fig. 29-29), and
(b) A full wave rectifier (Fig. 29-30) without capacitor. Assume that R = 150Ω in each case and that the ac voltage is 12.0B rms in each case.
(b) What happens if C = 0.10 μF?
