Q.1 A Half wave single phase rectifier feeding to a purely Inductive load of value “L”. Draw the (i) output /Load
Voltage current waveform (ii) output current waveform (iii) Voltage across Diode waveform. (iv) Diode
conduction angle (v) Input power factor (vi) output power (vii) IPF etc. Assuming Input voltage is
𝑣𝑠 (𝑡) = 𝑉𝑚 sin(𝜔𝑡).

Q.2 Repeat Q.1 for RL type load (R=10 ohm, L= 0.05 H). Find the value for extinction angle value “ß” for (R=10
ohm, L= 0.05 H) and input supply 𝑣𝑠 (𝑡) = 325 Sin(314t).

Q.3

Q.4 A single phase, 230 V, 50 Hz, mains fed step down transformer (4:1) is supplying power to a half wave
uncontrolled ac-dc converter used for charging a battery of 12 V with the series current limiting resistor of 19
ohm. Find the value of charging current.
