Worksheet 1

1. determine the forward voltage and forward current for the diode shown below for each of the
diode model. Also find the voltage across the limiting resistor in each case assume 𝑟𝑑′ = 10𝛺
at the determined value of forward current.

2. determine the reverse voltage and reverse current for the diode shown below for each of the
diode model. Also find the voltage across the limiting resistor in each case. assume 𝐼𝑅 = 1𝜇𝐴.

3. determine the peak value of the output voltage for the figure shown below if the turn ratio is
0.5.

4. determine the peak output voltage for the bridge rectifier shown below.assuming practical
modelling what PIV rating is required for the diodes? The transformer is specified to have
12V rms secondary voltage for the standard 110V across the primary.
