foe each mode.

PART-II (APPLY)
Sl.No. Marks
2a Derive the expression for Ripple factor and efficiency of Bridge rectifier. 10

2b A half wave rectifier circuit is supplied from a 230V, 50Hz supply with a 10
step-down ratio of 3:1 to a resistive load of 10kΩ. Diode forward resistance
is 75Ω, while transformer secondary resistance is 10Ω. Calculate maximum,
average, RMS value of current, DC output voltage, efficiency of
rectification and ripple factor.

PART-III (DESIGN/ANALYZE)
Sl.No. Question Marks
3a In a zener Regulator if the input DC voltage is 10±20%. The output 5
requirements is V0 =5V, IL = 20mA IZmin = 5mA , IZmax = 80mA , Design
the Zener Regulator.
3b A 10V reference source is to be designed using a Zener diode and a resistor 5
connected in Series to a 32V supply. Select suitable components and
calculate the circuit current when the supply voltage drops to 26V. Assume
Zener current is 22mA.
