A full-wave rectifier circuit with a 1 − kΩ load operates from a 120-V (rms) 60-Hz household supply
through a 6-to-1 transformer having a center-tapped secondary winding. It uses two silicon diodes that can
be modeled to have a 0.7-V drop for all currents. What is the peak voltage of the rectified output? For
what fraction of a cycle does each diode conduct? What is the average output voltage? What is the
average current in the load?

As shown in the circuit below, the input line voltage, feeding the primary winding, is
Vpr = 120 Vrms . The turns ratio of the transformer is 6-to-1, thus the voltage produced
​ ​

on the secondary winding is

120
Vsc = = 20 Vrms

​ ​ ​

the transformer secondary winding is center-tapped thus, it provides two equal voltages
vs across the two halves of the secondary winding. Therefore,

and

vs = 10 2  sin(ωt) V

The input and output waveforms are as shown below. Thus, the peak voltage of the
rectified output is

vo = Vs − vD

and terminates at (π − θ) for a total conduction angle of

π − 2θ = 180∘ − 2 ⋅ (2.84∘ ) = 174.32∘

Since the two diodes are identical, the conduction angle during the negative half-cycles
is the same as the positive half-cycles (174.32∘ ).

Because each diode conducts for 174.32∘ during the total cycle 360∘ , the fraction of a
cycle in which each diode conduct is

We can also write the fraction of a cycle in which the two diodes conduct is
