Physics - Semiconductors Question with Solution | TestHub
Statement I : To get a steady DC output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect a capacitor across the output parallel to the load
Statement II : To get a steady DC output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect an inductor in series with
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
We can improve the average,output of the rectifier while at the same time reducing thevariation of the rectified output by using smoothing capacitors to filter the output waveform. Smoothing or reservoir capacitors connected in parallel with the load across the output of the full-wave bridge rectifier circuit increase the averageoutput level even higher as the capacitor acts like a storage device as shown below. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
