A full wave rectifier circuit along with the input and output voltage is shown in the figure. The contribution to output voltage from diode 2 is:

Circuit diagram

Take the secondary polarity such that diode 1 conducts during the first positive half-cycle of the input.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

In a center-tapped full-wave rectifier, the diodes conduct on alternate half-cycles.

Diode 2 supplies the second and fourth labeled output pulses.

These are B and D.
