7. What value of filter capacitor is required to produce a 1% ripple
factor for a full-wave rectifier having a load resistance of
Assume the rectifier produces a peak output of 18 V.
8. a) Determine the peak-to-peak ripple and dc output voltages in
Figure 7. The transformer has a 36 V rms secondary voltage
rating, and the line voltage has a frequency of 60 Hz.
b) draw the following voltage waveforms in relationship to the
input waveforms: VAB, VAD, and VCD. A double letter
subscript indicates a voltage from one point to
another.
